| Project Title: |
NORTH SEATTLE ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM |
|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Operational Test |
|
| Project Description: | This project will explore methods for adjacent traffic signal systems to share loop detector and operational data to improve operations across boundaries and between adjacent systems. Jurisdictional issues which often prevent coordinating adjacent systems will be addressed during this project. Data will be obtained from several systems in the I-5 corridor north of Seattle by a single microcomputer connected with street or central master controllers belonging to the various jurisdictions within the corridor. The microcomputer will compile the volume, occupancy and operations data and transmit it back to the participating control systems. Each system will then use the data to improve its traffic management capabilities. | |
