摘要

Kansas City Scout is Kansas City's bi-state traffic management system. The Kansas and Missouri Departments of Transportation (KDOT, MoDOT) designed Scout to lessen traffic jams by improving rush-hour speeds, to increase safety by decreasing the number of rush-hour accidents, and to improve emergency response to traffic situations. Kansas City Scout first became operational in January 2004. Kansas City Scout manages traffic on more than 100 miles of continuous freeways in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. Scout uses closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to monitor the highways from its traffic management center in Lee's Summit. The Scout system relies on sensors to gauge traffic flow, uses large electronic message boards to send urgent traffic notices to drivers along the freeways, and activates a Highway Advisory Radio system that motorists in Missouri can tune to in the event of a freeway incident.Kansas City Scout always strives to provide the traveling public with the latest in real-time traffic and roadwork information through public-private partnerships and its internally developed Scout Website. Scout provides live MPEG-2 video feeds to the four major news networks WDAF (FOX), KCTV (CBS), KMBC (ABC), KSHB (NBC) and the local cable company Time Warner. Its internally developed website provides real time traffic information like travel speeds on the freeways, streaming JPEG video and snap-shot (still) images from over 130 CCTVs, messages displayed on the 39 dynamic message signs and other travel related information over the Internet. But once the public is travelling on the freeway system, they do not have access to the Internet. So Kansas City Scout developed improved ways to disseminate vital traffic information to area residents and commuters.
