The Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Traffic Management
Center’s (TMC) mission is to make roads more safe and efficient through management
of roadside cameras, ramp meters, variable message signs, speed and lane control
signs, and radios. When the TMC outgrew its building–as well as the size of its
roadway monitoring system–the staff realized it was time not just for a physical
upgrade, but a technological one, too. The project called for management and
display of 750 live video feeds from across the WSDOT system. The live feeds are
used throughout the facility in the operations center, media viewing room, situation
room and in management offices.
This was a multi-phase project taking place over nine months that required the
Diversified project management and integration teams to work seamlessly with
WSDOT and the general contractor. Utilizing a client-centric project management
and communication process, Diversified anticipated and resolved structural and
aesthetic issues to deliver the project on time and to the client’s expectations.
During the first phase of the project, Diversified discovered the sheet metal in the
Operation Center’s false wall, built to hold the 90 video wall brackets and displays,
didn’t go up as high as needed for seismic requirements. The team worked with
the client and general contractor to resolve the issue. For the second phase of the
Operation Center, Diversified integrated the 3×4 video wall while the TMC was fully
operational and collaborated with WSDOT to ensure the least possible disruption to
traffic engineers.
Lastly, Diversified partnered on configuration and training of the collaboration
software and streaming video input node that make up the networked visualization
solution which drives the video wall content. WSDOT is very pleased with the
new, high-tech environment, which has been working seamlessly, 24/7/365, since
completion and enables traffic management employees to efficiently monitor real-
time video of traffic conditions and control area roadways.
