Abstract:The ConnDOT is implementing a large-scale freeway traffic management system in the greater Hartford area. The goal of the project is to alleviate congestion due to incidents and other activities. The project was the outgrowth of an ITS early deployment plan completed in 1997 by ConnDOT, the Capital Region Council of Governments, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This project covers 60 centerline miles of Interstate Highways 84 and 91 and State Route 2 and includes the installation of a fiber-optic cable network, 104 video camera sites, 50 traffic flow detector stations, and 39 variable message signs (VMS). A video and data transport system will transmit video and traffic data to and from the ConnDOT Newington Highway Operations Center. The system will also be used to share video images and data between the Newington Highway Operations Center, the ConnDOT Bridgeport Traffic Operations Center, the State Police Communications Center located within the Connecticut Department of Public Safety Headquarters in Middletown, the State Police Troop H Barracks in Hartford, and the City of Hartford Traffic Operations Center.
