    Texas Department of Transportation, TransVISION Tarrant Traffic Management Center and Training Center
Fort Worth, Texas

Architectural design of the 33,700-SF, 3-story center is driven by good traffic operations management principles. Gideon Toal developed a layout for the central control room that responds to the needs of TxDOT operations personnel. The 3-story control room houses sixteen consoles, view screens, voice communications, and other equipment ergonomically designed to facilitate the operator’s traffic management responsibilities. All traffic management devices, such as loop detectors, cameras, lane control signals, changeable message signs, are integrated using a fiber optic communications network and controlled from the Traffic Management Center. The regional training center, distinguished on the exterior by a standing seam barrel vaulted roof, consists of three large classrooms and a break room. The center also provides space for conference rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors that look down into the control room, equipment assembly and storage, maintenance, and administration facilities.
