Abstract:As part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Integration Program as authorized in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to install various ITS technologies in the mostly rural and mountainous region north of Spokane, Washington to the Canadian border. These system components are intended to facilitate collecting and communicating information to commercial vehicle operators, public motorists, and maintenance crews concerning current weather conditions, road surface conditions, border crossings, floods, slide areas, and other information necessary to assist roadway users in making informed travel decisions. Enhanced traveler information can increase safety, improve the efficiency of commercial vehicle operations, benefit road maintenance activities, and provide the general traveler with an increased level of knowledge and comfort regarding the conditions that they may encounter.
