A Transportation Control Tower is a software application that facilitates transportation planners with easily monitoring and dispatching transportation resources. This paper presents a software architecture for such an application. It focuses in particular on the novel aspects of the software architecture. These are: the ability to easily congure the monitoring of resources and tasks; the ability to automatically create the statements for monitoring resources and tasks based on the transportation plan; and the ability to dynamically adjust the monitoring statements, based on adjustments to the transportation plan. A prototype of the software architecture is implemented and evaluated on three usage scenarios.
