Truck Parking Information Management System (TPIMS) Archive

Eight states have collaborated to introduce a real-time parking availability information system tailored for commercial drivers. The objective is to enhance safety and streamline truck operations within the region's Interstate freight network. This platform offers access to historical data spanning from 2019 to the present day. With data originating from 150 sites across these eight states, encompassing up to 21 variables refreshed every minute, the overarching UW COE system environment is not only scalable for accommodating more sites but also strategically engineered to facilitate seamless integration with cooperative third-party systems. Furthermore, this architecture ensures effortless accessibility to data, thereby facilitating comprehensive performance metric analysis.
