| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |
|
| Project Description: | This project is the FY 2002 ITS Integration Program earmark for Albany, New York. The project focuses on incident management by integrating advanced traveler information (ATIS) with a regional Transportation Management Center (TMC). The ATIS projects currently being implemented were initiated with FY 2000 and FY 2001 earmarked funding. The TMC will monitor traffic data on area interstates (I-90/I-787) employing deployed monitors, cameras, cellular 911 and patrol vehicles. The project is to create an incident management "test bed" comprised of deployed traveler information systems and TMC capabilities. The test bed will extend along I-90/I-787, NY Route 378, and US Route 4 between East Greenbush and Troy, New York. The test bed facility will constitute an ITS laboratory equipped to permit real-time experimentation and training on the use of ITS devices under real-world traffic conditions. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2005. | |
