The PennDOT District 6-0 Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC) project expands
the existing RTMC’s capabilities by providing a larger and more modern facility to actively
manage traffic and congestion, as well as enhance travel and safety for motorists in the
Philadelphia region. The new center’s digital video wall architecture will increase video
feed capacity and seamlessly display data and video to provide situational awareness
necessary for improved response time and decision-making. Video sharing and incident
coordination with other stakeholders, partner agencies and the public will significantly
improve with the ability to transcode more video faster and with better quality than the
current system. In addition, the data network is more robust and offers a much greater
throughput, facilitating more efficient collection and dissemination of traffic incident data to
the public and partner agencies. Jacobs Engineering collaborated with PennDOT District
6-0 to carry out their vision through the planning and design effort.
