THE BIGGER PICTURE - Display wall processors improve decision-making, response time and safety, and make savings while enabling TMCs to coordinate and share scarce resources

摘要

Advanced Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) are changing the traffic landscape around the world. These state-of-the-art centers allow traffic management professionals employed by local, state or regional government to funnel enormous amounts of complex data into a centralized location, and display it so that fast and accurate decisions can be made while coordinating activities where necessary with other agencies. TMCs improve response time, enable managers to keep traffic flowing, identify and monitor trouble spots, improve communications in an emergency and coordination among services and localities. A video display wall is the heart of a TMC, capable of displaying data from a broad range of information sources onto a shared screen or screens. Display walls, projecting information as best fits each center's needs, enable all of the users at a TMC to see and share the same data in one place, at one time, and to zero in to selected pieces of that information. Display walls provide a common, flexible, high-resolution graphical overview with concurrent access to highly focused data.
