Roadway Freeway Control

Freeway control equipment including ramp meters, mainline metering, and lane control equipment which controls traffic on freeways, including indicators to drivers.

 

Roadway Probe Beacons

Field elements to collect traffic and road conditions from passing vehicles; both anonymous toll/parking tag readings for link time calculations and smart probe data supported.

 

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

Driver information systems, such as dynamic message signs and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR).

 

Roadway Work Zone Traffic Control

Field elements in maintenance and construction areas including CCTV cameras, driver information systems (such as DMS), and gates/barriers that monitor and control traffic and provide information directly to drivers in affected areas.
