Project Title:   MUSCLE SHOALS, ALABAMA
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for Muscle Shoals, AL. The principal ITS integration activity to be conducted is the integration of 28 signalized intersections. These signalized intersections include state-of-the art traffic control cabinet assemblies, which will be modified to interface with an area-wide signal management system enabling AL DOT secure maintenance and operational access. The project will also deploy two dynamic message signs that will be integrated into the Shoals Metropolitan Area Incident Management System and Advanced Traffic Management System. In addition to extensive ATMS features, the proposed system will deliver Advanced Traveler Information Systems capabilities. These capabilities may include roadway information, traveling conditions, construction activities, and detours.
