Transportation Management System Elements
For visual reference, please refer to the images below of examples of Transportation Management System Elements
Changeable Message Sign
Changeable Message Sign will provide motorists with advance warning of conditions ahead and inform them of alternative routes when necessary.
Changeable Message Sign use for events includes advance notice of upcoming roadwork or special events that will affect travel, and will notify the traveling public of work zones ahead.
Vehicle Detection Systems
Vehicle detection systems will collect and report valuable, real-time traffic volumes, occupancy, and speed data.
Roadway Weather Information System
Road weather information systems are meteorological measurement stations positioned strategically to collect local atmospheric data. This data will be utilized to automate changeable message signs in order to provide travelers with advance notice of adverse weather conditions. In addition, accurate and reliable weather information helps Maintenance and Operations personnel prepare for and mitigate costly delays, closures, and accidents due to weather conditions.
Closed-Circuit Television Camera System
Closed-Circuit Television Camera System cameras will monitor and verify roadway conditions and, in the case of accidents/congestion, assist in dispatching appropriate resources for incident response.
Highway Advisory Radio
Highway Advisory Radio will provide detailed, real-time information to the motorists traveling in the area using low power AM radio transmitters.
Extinguishable Message Signs
Extinguishable Message Signs will alert motorists of the Highway Advisory Radio's activation.
Maintenance Vehicle Pullout
Maintenance Vehicle Pullout will provide a safe area for the maintenance personnel to park their vehicles during routine maintenance for the elements.
