• Abstract:
  This case study is one in a series of documents that examines the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in work zones. This case study focuses on the use of ITS to support Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) work zone operations for a major bridge and highway reconstruction effort on Interstate 55 (I-55) just south of Springfield. IDOT chose to deploy ITS for this project as a means to reduce congestion and improve safety based on its favorable experience with ITS on other projects. The ITS application, the Real Time Traffic Control System (RTTCS), covered the northbound and southbound approaches to the work zone, encompassing approximately 40 miles of I-55.
