CDOT I-70 WEST INTEGRATION PROJECT |

| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |
|
| Project Description: | This project is the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for I-70 West of Denver, Colorado. The project is part of an ongoing deployment and integration program for ITS in Colorado. It builds on previous efforts and concurrent initiatives. The primary focus is the integration of various data collection, communications, information dissemination and traffic control systems along the I-70 mountain highway corridor West of Denver. Three Colorado DOT (CODOT) control centers in the I-70 corridor currently manage traffic and disseminate traveler information along localized segments of the corridor, but lack communications capabilities among each other which detracts significantly from an integrated approach along the entire corridor. This project will partially enhance communications and data sharing between: - The Colorado Transportation Management Center (CTMC) in Lakewood; - The Eisenhower Tunnel Control facility near Dillon; and - The Hanging Lake Tunnel (HLT) control facility in Glenwood Canyon. The partial integration carried out by this project leverages separately-funded installation of the Shared Resources high-speed fiber optic line along the corridor in 2001. Other components of this project include implementation of the I-70 probe network, and a study to plan future interfaces with Denver International Airport. |
