On behalf of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), the American Public Transit Association (APTA), the National Transit Institute (NTI), and the US Department of Transportation, Office of The Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, we would like to invite you to attend the FREE web pilots for the Transit ITS Professional Capacity Building Program.
Target Audience:
- Public transit executives
- Public transit operations managers
- Public transit planning managers
- Emergency operations managers
- First Responders
- State/Regional Emergency Management Staff
Suggested Prerequisites: General information on the National ITS Architecture / Regional ITS Architecture
Course Description: The goal of the Emergency Evacuation Standard of Communication/ Incident Management ISO 19083 standard is to save lives and aid recovery by using ITS technologies to coordinate a comprehensive transportation response to disaster. This includes evacuating people out of harm’s way and providing transportation support for all response to and recovery efforts from major disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, or catastrophic accidents.
The ISO 19083 standard recommends public transport serve as the primary mobility agent for all transportation-related coordinated actions before, during and after a disaster. This represents a paradigm shift from past response and recovery efforts, which typically see transportation-related activities coordinated by emergency managers who rely on traffic managers and public transport operators to provide the services.
The purpose of Module 15 is to introduce Emerging Evacuation Standard of Communication/Incident Management ISO 19083 standard-based framework, used to identify participating organization roles and responsibilities, establishing criteria for use of public transport, and support the development of an Emergency Evacuation and Disaster Response and Recovery (EEDRR) Decision Support System (DSS). The module also identifies guidelines to improve coordination among regional authorities when public transport disaster support is required.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the Elements of the Emergency Evacuation and Disaster Response and Recovery (EEDRR) Framework.
- Explain roles and responsibilities of organizations (including Public Transport) in EEDRR.
- Use Concept of Operations Template for specifying a Decision Support System for Public Transport Emergency Management.
