I appreciate that FOI requests are time consuming, and I thank you in advance for your time, and have endeavoured to make the questions as brief as possible to reduce the time impact on yourselves.

If you are not the highway authority for this area, please disregard this request.

Q1. Does your authority operate a UTMC system, and which system and supplier do you use?

Q1a. If not, do you have any plans to implement a UTMC system, if so when? Also what is the main reason for considering doing so?

Q1b. If you do operate a UTMC, what equipment/data sources connect to your UTMC system, and what functions do you deliver using these data sources?

Q2. Please describe how you staff your UMTC system? Do you have dedicated staff, an outsourcing arrangement (if so, please provide brief operational details of the arrangement) or via sharing another role? If sharing another role, please provide an estimate of the percentage of time spent on UTMC functions.

Q3. Is your UTMC shared with another authority/authorities? If so, please advise on the other parties?

Q4. Are you utilising your UTMC system to automate highway functions, and if so, please provide brief details of these functions. E.g. Car park guidance on VMS from occupancy sensors, or feeding live information into an app or website (brief info on the high level function would be appreciated, but no need for further detail on how this is delivered)?

Q5. Do you collate and manage any of the following datasets in an electronic format (such as but not limited to GIS)? If so, do you make this data available to third parties, and how?

Spatial TRO information - Speed limits, Parking Restrictions, Moving Traffic Restrictions
