• Abstract:
  As a part of the HfL initiative, FHWA provided an approximately $1 million grant to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) to improve the traffic flow of US 90B (West Bank Expressway), mitigate ongoing congestion and crashes, and support work zone traffic and incident management during construction. The innovations employed on this project included the use of a phased-array Doppler radar and corresponding operator interface for traffic monitoring, as well as a remotely controlled gate system for the on-ramps. LADOTD anticipates that these innovations will greatly reduce the congestion and crashes during the upcoming interchange construction. In addition, these innovative features will remain in place and continue to be functional for future construction activities
