The Business of Information Technology
New Jersey Turnpike Authority - Overview
New Jersey Turnpike
•
•
•
•
•
Connects nearly every major transportation asset in New Jersey
148 miles in length / adding 170 additional lane miles of dual roadway in 2014
650,000 vehicles per day, Commercial Freight/Trucks 85,000 per day (13% of volume)
70,000 motorist aids per year, 70 heavy duty accidents per year
EZPass penetration approximately 80%
Garden State Parkway
•
•
•
•
173 miles in length / adding 90 new lane miles in 2014
1.2 million vehicles per day / limited freight, truck access
50,000 motorist aids per year
EZPass penetration approximately 80%
The Business of Information Technology
The New Data Landscape
•Exponential Growth in Data Volume, Velocity and Variety
•2.5 Billion Gigabytes of data generated every 24 hours (80% unstructured)
•Unstructured Data growth driven by impulses from sensors and Social Media
• Worldwide there will be over 1 Trillion connected objects and devices by 2015
• Research/Mathematics Partnerships – now take center stage
(Algorithms and Business Rules)
•More than just Technology - People (Cultural/Trust) and
Process (on demand exception management processes)
•Potential for highly effective Performance Management
The Business of Information Technology
Sample Data Domains
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
250 ITS data points (subsurface sensors) VOS by Lane
Full Color VMS, CM, LC and Hybrid Sign Inventory 400+
Video Cameras (Roadway, Toll Collection, Security) 500+
Expansive Message Library 800+ Messages with Graphics for VMS Signs
Vehicle Inventory and AVL for all vehicle types
Building/Facility Monitoring Information (Power, HVAC…etc)
Regional Partnership (TRANSCOM) Traffic and “Travel Time” Information
Geospatial Asset Information (Sub-Surface, Bridge, Signs, Other Structures)
632 toll lanes - 30 of which are High Speed (E-ZPass Transactions)
ERP - Employee and Supplier Information for Self-Service
The Business of Information Technology
Transaction
Data Stores
Data as a Service (DaaS)
A Purposeful Approach
NJTA Intra-Agency Model
ODS
Domains
Objectives
Enable instant on-demand consumer services
Enable exception processing for internal operations
•
•
•
•
•
•
Create data domains from both transaction and device data
Use research partnerships to maximize value of these domains
Test new algorithms that manufacture new data from existing sources
Establish new business rules to enhance (ETL/ELT) data transformation
Ensure that all major transaction data bases have corresponding Operational
Data Stores (ODS) Domains with required Master Data.
Multiple ODS Domains become the foundation of a (DaaS) framework

Data as a Service (DaaS)
A Purposeful Approach - Examples
Establish Exception-Based Operations Model
with Action Oriented Information
ODS
Domains
E-ZPass Violations Domain (ODS) created with Key Master Data and additional
elements (formula based business rules - aggregations and derivations)
• Domain 250 million E-ZPass Records
• ELT Process + Business Rules used to Load and Transform Data
• Result – dashboard, pattern recognition, trending rules-based alerts, and graphics
• Daily report review replaced by alerts and on-demand analysis
Advanced Traffic Management Domain - Volume Occupancy and Speed information
by roadway segment (Traffic Monitoring, Detection, Traffic Prediction)
Combine with other domains GIS, Message Library, Camera Inventory.
The Business of Information Technology
Data as a Service (DaaS)
Enabling Sharing and Engagement
• Mobile Technology and Social Media have created a wave of
cultural change and new behaviors
• 4+ Billion Mobile Phones Worldwide (25% Smartphones, 75% SMS enabled)
• 2014 Mobile Internet usage overtakes Desktop Usage
• 84% of Smartphone users check an app everyday as they awake
• 84% of Millennial’s and 70% of Boomers say social content influences
what they buy and the services they use
• If we are to continue to earn the right to service the public, data services and
mobile technology are essential components in our Roadmap
The Business of Information Technology
Data as a Service (DAAS)
(Inter-Agency Regional Example)
Where do we invest?
Start with the Customer (Traveling Public)
What Services do consumers what?
What devices do they have access to?
When do Consumers want these services?
Where do Consumers want these services?
What Data Domains from each Agency will start the process of servicing these
needs?
• Design a service and begin with a small set of capabilities
• Use a regional aggregator–agency independence + a regional contribution model can co-exist
• Use a single domain or combine multiple domains to pilot a initial regional service
• Understand the Time Sensitivity of select Information
• Follow a current successful model for Regional Aggregation (The Video Example)
The Business of Information Technology
Data as a Service (DaaS)
Guiding Principles
•
•
•
•
•
Establish Data as a Service (DaaS) Model
Take an Enterprise Approach - buy/build data domains once use everywhere
Manage Data as a Portfolio Asset (Strategic Maintain, Legacy)
Use and Contribute to Regional Data Assets where possible
Sponsor Research to create new algorithms to maximize value of new Data
Domains
• Transform Data with effective Business Rules to create actionable information
• Leverage Rules to enable “exception based operating models”
• Connect Everything – ensure adequate network connectivity and capacity

The Business of Information Technology
Our Guiding Principle
“Innovation”
Innovation at the New Jersey Turnpike Authority begins with our people
and the belief that ideas and possibilities are essential ingredients in
achieving the true meaning of innovation – “that of doing something
different not just doing the same thing better”

delays as well as toll volumes
Opportunities for Data Sharing and Use
PA’s ITS vision aligns with the following specific aspect of
the Port Authority’s Strategic Plan: Transportation for
Regional Prosperity, adopted by the Board of
Commissioners in 2005:
“A regional real-time information system that can
calculate the differences in travel time, fuel
savings, and toll charges and redirect both
passenger and freight traffic to alternative routes
or travel modes.”
Opportunities for Data Sharing and Use, continued
● Regional Traveler Information App including Freightspecific content
● ITS for freight applications including RFID on containers
● Center-to-Center Communications
● Construction Coordination Tool/Procedures
● Supporting Development and Implementation of
construction project Transportation Management Plans
● Enhanced Asset Management
● Enhanced Performance Metric Tracking
● Predictive Modeling & Analysis

Data is an Asset (Resource)
• Data should be treated like other assets….
• Money
• People
• Facilities
• Data must be managed as an Enterprise Resource;
• Must be protected as an Enterprise Asset;
• Must be made available as an Enterprise Tool;
• And must function as a component of the Enterprise
Architecture
NJDOT Data Issues
Individual Applications and databases in silos created a
“Spaghetti Network Design” once information sharing efforts
started
NJDOT’s Goal
We want to get
from
