This project has developed, through the use of a workshop and hands-on demonstration, a comprehensive approach consisting of various components of an Advanced Corridor Management System. These components include; ramp and freeway mainline control, surveillance and detection, driver information systems, automatic vehicle identification, incident management, electronic toll collection, etc. FHWA formed public/private partnerships with industry to demonstrate and display available Corridor Management Technologies in a cooperative effort. Hardware and software products will be showcased in a highly-visible mobile workshop in the form of a large customized tractor-trailer combination with expandable sides. It will consist of a 2-to-3-day presentation and hands-on demonstration on the various advanced corridor management technologies. The workshop is configured with the hands-on portion of the demonstration project where each participant has the opportunity to use a terminal to simulate the corridor management techniques/technologies as they are being presented in the workshop. The simulation emulates real operations of a system and will enable the user to execute simulated commands and algorithms in a controlled environment.

California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) has completed the installation and integration of the software and hardware in the trailer which is used for DP-105. Approximately 35 vendors (partners) have agreed to provide hardware and software to be demonstrated in the trailer. The presentation staff, consisting of a lead presenter, an assistant presenter, a systems engineer who will maintain the computer and electrical systems on the trailer, and a driver are being provided by a support contractor. A national tour of presentations began July 1997. The 1998 schedule has been filled and presentations for 1999 are currently being planned.
