| Project Description: | This project combines the FY 2000 and FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmarks for Rensselaer County, New York. Funding for both fiscal years was obligated in mid CY 2001. The FY 2000 earmark objective is to implement an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) and agency information exchange network throughout the I-90 Phase 2 Connector/ITS Test Bed Laboratory transportation network of Rensselaer County, NY. The system will be designed to satisfy information needs of highway travelers and transit users as well as transportation operating agencies. Project features include: - Investigating wireless communications technologies to achieve cost-effective travel data collection from various modes. - Instrumenting the transportation infrastructure and collecting travel data from commuters. - Analyzing collected data and producing traveler information. - Integrating the traveler information with transportation modes and transportation management centers. The FY 2001 earmark builds on this base and focuses on use of wireless technologies as the basis for traveler information through the use of cellular telephones for traffic surveillance. E-911 cellular telephone emergency service notification is added as a source of ATIS. The coverage area is also expanded to include the majority of the transportation network serviced by the regional Transportation Management Center. Funding indicated below are totals for both fiscal years. The breakout is as follows: ITS Funding (earmarks) FY 2000: $786,421 FY 2001: $396,807 Total Funding FY 2000: $986,421 FY 2001: $806,807 |
