• Abstract:
  Results showed that UDOT can reduce the number of detectors currently maintained by TMC’s and can deploy far fewer than the ½ mile spacing guidelines. This should result in significant cost savings in capital, operations, and maintenance costs. Further, this report proposes the potential future work that can be done to enhance the robustness of the methodology in evaluating the optimal spacing of the traffic monitoring stations on I-15.
