Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This is a discretionary project of the FY2000 ITS Deployment Program for the State of Illinois.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goals of this project are to improve safety and mobility. This is to be accomplished with the design and implementation of a Traffic and Incident Management System for the Greater Peoria Area I-74 Corridor. This project will consider the best use of the advanced technologies to provide a traffic and incident management and traveler information infrastructure during and after the reconstruction of I-74. The potential integration opportunities will be identified in the project architecture. This project will further encourage inter-jurisdictional coordination and reduce institutional barriers. This is further detailed in the following Scope of Work.

SCOPE OF WORK
This work order provides funding for the Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Stage 1 design to implement a traffic and incident management system on I-74 from the west junction of I-474 to the east junction of I-474. The PS&E phase will follow the completion of the project system architecture and conceptual design phase. The PS&E phase will include the development of preliminary, pre-final, and final plans. The completion of the PS&E phase will serve as a precursor to the ITS deployment for Stage 1 construction.
