What is T-REX?

What is T-REX? Simply put, the T-REX system is a secure web browser-based multimodal event management tool which means T-REX can be operated from your desktop, laptop, or tablet.

It has been developed using the industry’s best practices. It has been designed to allow faster more precise data entry and in turn more accurate information.

Because T-REX is entirely web-based, Traffic Management Center staff can log into the system simply by opening up a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.) on the device of choice and connecting to the T-REX application.

T-REX provides users with the ability to create and manage:

  • Active highway incidents
  • Active and scheduled highway construction events
  • Active and scheduled highway special events
  • Active transit incidents
  • Active and scheduled transit construction events
  • Active and scheduled transit special events

Agency operators can also maintain their notifications and other actions taken during an event. This information can be extremely helpful during a post event analysis.

It also allows users to perform other actions such as:

  • Send e-mail notifications and SMS messages
  • View CCTV
  • Locate the nearest safety service patrol vehicle
  • Find and locate event information on a map
  • Perform system administrator functions and so much more

In addition, because of this flexibility, T-REX expands the operational capabilities of agencies to be available remotely at on-site construction zones and major events such as football games, marathons, etc.  Further, operators have the ability to provide as-needed additional support from home, thus also expanding the operational capabilities of the agencies during dynamic events.

The flexibility that has been built into T-REX to maintain a virtual TMC during major events such as the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic. Moving forward, the same virtual TMC can be used by agencies during major weather-related events like snowstorms and hurricanes.
