Project Description:
Operated by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels opened in 1927 and provides a vital link between midtown Manhattan and central New Jersey. With traffic volumes exceeding 70 million vehicles per year, they are among the busiest tunnels in the world.
Transdyn was selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to design, implement and maintain an Intelligent Transportation System for the Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel.
The ITS includes new computer systems, communication systems, CCTV, sensors, and electronic signs. Transdyn’s DYNAC ATMS® software monitors traffic and roadway conditions, automatically detects incidents and stopped vehicles, and implements optimal response plans. The software assists operators in rapidly responding to emergency situations, clearing incidents, alerting motorists, balancing traffic flows, and mitigating congestion.
