MODSS
• The Maintenance & Operations Decision Support System (MODSS) builds upon the core capabilities of the base MDSS
• Leverages lessons learned & technologies developed to expand the MDSS investment to other operations within surface transportation:– Summer Maintenance– Traffic Management– Construction
• First phase is to document requirements and develop a concept of operations– Expanding stakeholder groups– Initial workshops held the week of 26 Feb 07
