TxPROS Real-Time Routing
Resource Commitment1 existing FTE to manage daily restrictions, clarify/negotiate with 25 TxDOT Districts, communicate changes to permit specialists, districts, customers3 new FTEs (1 for initial TxPROS development & to add restrictions, test/manage TxPROS Routing, Route Tuner, Biannual map updates from ProMiles
Permit Specialists spend time on more complex permit types
Two restrictions affect the route: IH610 EB to NB going under SH225.• Loads over 14’3 and up to 16’0 have a driving instruction• 16’0 max height under SH225 bridge
Load height: 15’0
The instructional statement override: customer notified to travel in center lane under SH225. Trip is rerun.
With override the load takes the shorter route & the instructional statement appears on permit.
Height of Load: 16’0IH20 EB 17’6 max height at FM849
A separate lane for each direction of travel on IH20 & different height clearance for each direction.
IH20 WB: 15’6 max height
A separate lane for each direction of travel on IH20 & different height clearance for each direction.
Single line for two-way traffic with a different height clearance for each direction.
Single line for two-way traffic with a different height clearance for each direction.
Dedicated turnaround lanes each with a height clearance.
Load Height: 14’ takes the south side of LP304.
Load Height: 14’6 with the same origin & destination takes north side of LP304 to avoid 14’ bridge on south side.
