Computer-integrated transportation (CIT) is envisioned as an integrated network of public and private transportation organizations, each with unique responsibilities but working toward a common mission of facilitating travel across all modes of transportation. Research on CIT is extended to emergency operations (EOs) and presented. EOs in California are examined and their role in gathering and using traffic incident information is identified. The basis of coordination between EOs and transportation management centers is established. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services and technologies that may be beneficial to EOs are identified, and the similarities and differences between California EOs and the emerging ITS national architecture are compared.
