Abstract:Each year a number of major interstate highway construction projects are initiated in the state of Louisiana. These projects often result in traffic congestion, lane closures, detours, lane shifts, etc. To increase the level of public information associated with roadway construction, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has spread the news of impending construction projects through various means of communication.
To address the issue of highway communication in Louisiana, DOTD initiates a study to evaluate the use of radio communication techniques for highways within the state. Specifically, DOTD has led the effort to use highway advisory radio (HAR) in highway construction zones.
The research conducts a review of past and present HAR implementation projects and evaluate equipment requirements. Additionally, the research suggests to develop in-house DOTD technical expertise in HAR system and real-time traffic data collection and dissemination systems in Louisiana.
