The collection and archiving of existing and emerging data sources from all modes of transportation.  The data/information needs to be collected and stored for analyzing the effectiveness of strategies and responses generated by a DSS
The transformation of independent data streams into actionable decisions that impact multiple transportation modes across multiple jurisdictions. The actions need to be grounded in pre-arranged response plans for incidents and emergencies attached to contacts, roles and responsibilities.
The ability to impact overall network operations by sending commands/recommendations to individual systems in individual jurisdictions. The recommended actions seek to avoid gaps in response as well as contradictory responses, to produce benefit for total network operations.
While not a central objective, the provision of links to what has been termed passive IDTO will provide for the delivery of a greater quantity and quality of information to increasingly sophisticated system users, impacting their driving decisions The links to the delivery systems and the data that flows to them should be an integral part of the vision for IDTO.
