I've raised the cost of the Traffic Information Highway with our TCC contact
- we would like to be able to use the TIH to exchange information with the
TCC and others, but we aren't making use of it at all yet. The TCC
application would be our first. I imagine a lot of other authorities are in
the same boat. It doesn't make a lot of sense for us all to invent a lot of
different wheels setting up systems to exchange TCC information over the
TIH. It would be very helpful if a simple single-PC-based application were
developed which we could all use (for which TCC covered the development
costs). Obviously if you needed to link into an existing system, or wanted
to expand the simple system, then it would be up individual authorities to
meet their own particular needs. But this seems a very good opportunity to
kick start wider use of the TIH.

There is a TOCC meeting on Thursday. This is the liaison group overseeing
the implementation of the Traffic Control Centre and I'm the TCUG rep
"advising" on technical issues. I would welcome any comments on any matter
that you would like me to raise. There is currently a debate regarding the
cost of the Traffic Information Highway.
