| Project Description: | This project is the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for College Station, Texas. The purpose of this project is to expand and integrate the transportation management infrastructure in the College Station/Bryan area to enable agencies to improve traffic management during frequent special events. Texas A & M University with its numerous athletic and cultural events attracts frequent increases in traffic on the transportation network. An added factor is a major rail line running through the center of the various traffic generators. The project will accomplish four major components: - Develop a Regional ITS Architecture and ITS Deployment Plan. - Upgrade and integrate portions of the transportation communications network for the area. - Integrate traffic signal information and video on several important special event travel routes in the area. - Enhance the traffic management and information dissemination capabilities for special events through installation of two dynamic message signs on routes leading into the event generating area, and integrate their operations into Texas Transportation Institute's TransLink Laboratory. |
