| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |

| Project Description: | This project constitutes the FY 2000 Integration Program earmark for the State of Delaware. Delaware DOT has undertaken installation of the Integrated Transportation Management System (ITMS); a technology-based approach to integrating and improving highway, transit and emergency operations. The DEL DOT ITMS Integration Project will focus on integrating existing traffic signals, video monitoring sites, and detection sites statewide into one centrally controlled network. The urbanized areas of the project include New Castle County (Wilmington) and the City of Dover. The remainder of the project will take place in a rural setting. In both the rural and metropolitan areas, the majority of the ITMS equipment to be integrated either currently exists, or will have been deployed by other projects prior to the start of this project. Where required, legacy controllers will be upgraded to allow integration into the new statewide system. This project will tie these systems into the statewide IP-based communications network, and connect them to the ITMS central control system and operations software. The project focus will be on integrating Traffic Signals, Video Monitoring Cameras, and Transportation Monitoring Sites into the ITMS. Separate and parallel efforts will integrate transit and emergency management operations into the system. In the spring of 2003, Delaware DOT opened a new Transportation Management Center to be colocated with the Delaware Emergency Management Center. When ITMS is completed, it will exercise real-time control and monitoring along a major segment of Delaware's so-called "Critical 250 miles" of highway network. |
