Future of PDN Regional Mobility Information System
Who will operate and maintain the system in the long run?
– How to obtain funding to operate and maintain the system.
– How to charge fee to users?
Could public-private partnership be a solution? Need to resolve institutional and technical issues, such as
– Intellectual property rights
– Access to data sources
– Market analysis of user fee
TTI is working on a project to perform a CROSS-CUTTING study on how Traffic Management Centers and Consortiums across U.S. handle INSTITUITIONAL issues
