  1. A Better & SaferUS Highway 90along theMississippi Gulf Coast By Mike Stokes Intelligent Transportation Systems Manager MDOT – Traffic Engineering

  2. To make travel along US Highway 90 • more efficient and safer • for the citizens and visitors of the Gulf Coast by deploying • integrated Intelligent Transportation Systems • along the entire corridor. Project Vision

  3. Incident Management Transit Management Systems Traveler Information Systems Toll Collection Freeway Management Systems Emergency Management Traffic Signal Control Electronic Fare Payment Highway-Rail Intersections ITS Systems

  4. Six local jurisdictions and two counties along the corridor • Inter-connect 54 intersections • Funding – ER vs. State match • Communications infrastructure • Rapid research and review of technology • Rapid design development process • Available and qualified contractors • Overall project divided into five phases Project Challenges

  5. Inter-connected signal controllers • A wireless broadband communications network • Traffic monitoring cameras (CCTV) • Video detection sensors • Construction monitoring cameras ITS Technology

  6. Exceeds NEMA TS-1 & TS-2 standards • Built in ethernet port • Removable hand-held front panel display • Built in infrared port • 8 MB of flash memory is used to retain all timing and control parameters during power outages. Eagle EPAC M52 TS-2 Type 2 Controller

  7. Allows users to view parameters and control any connected intersection • Provides for dynamic intersection grouping • Provides priority preemption for emergency vehicles • Hand-held PDA local controller tool that allows users to upload/download controller data and monitor the status of intersections ACTRA & Pocket ACTRA

  8. Faster to deploy • Easier to scale • More flexibility • Multipath redundancy • Reduced cost-per-mile of coverage Benefits of a Broadband Wireless Network

  9. Licensed 100 Mbps, full duplex, point to point backbone network • Unlicensed (900 Mhz) & licensed (4.9 Ghz) point-to-Multi-point distribution base stations • Unlicensed 1.5 Mbps to local intersections • Central collection point for data and video • Automatic redundancy for backbone network Features of MDOT’s Gulf Coast MSTraffic Wireless Network

  10. 12 new traffic cameras on corridor • MPEG-4 video feeds sent to MSTraffic.com website for traveler information • Video sharing with media and local municipalities Traffic Monitoring Cameras (CCTV)

  11. Advanced sensors – in-ground loops • Left turn lanes and side street detection • Data collection and reporting • Streaming video at stop bar Video Detection Sensors

  12. High-definition, wide-angle shot every 15 minutes • Images are archived and are accessible by users • FTP images can be directly sent to multiple web-servers • Provides weather conditions for construction site • Time-lapse movie of construction project Construction Cameras
