Project Title:   CALHOUN COUNTY I-69 AND I-94 INTERCHANGE SIGNING PROJECT
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for Calhoun County, Michigan. Project funding was approved in September 2002. The project is ultimately designed to provide traveler information to users of rural segments of highways I-69 and I-94 which support heavy volumes of traffic with destinations in Toronto, Montreal and Atlantic Ocean harbors. When implemented, this project's traveler information system will provide drivers information about existing and potential delays at the Detroit/Windsor and Port Huron/Sarnia crossing points. The system will process urban traffic status information and communicate it to drivers in a rural area. Thus, this project would link metropolitan and rural areas through the application of ITS technology which facilitates route selections designed to minimize travel time delay. Phase I of this project is a study to determine infrastructure components to be deployed.
