I-71 between Cleveland and Columbus, OH
Project Description:
On an average day, approximately 52,000 vehicles travel I-71 between Cleveland and Columbus. Traffic volumes in the corridor have grown at a rate greater than twenty percent over the past five years with a projected growth of more than fifty percent within the next twenty years. These volumes range from 96,000 vehicles per day in the Columbus area to 30,000 vehicles per day in rural areas.
As an initial step to help mitigate the effects of growing congestion and reduced air quality, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) selected Transdyn to furnish and install an integrated Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) managed by Transdyn’s DYNAC® software. This system manages traffic on seventeen miles of I-71 through downtown Columbus and the City of Columbus’ signalized intersections, and once complete, will manage 115 centerline miles of freeway, in its entirety, in the Metropolitan Columbus area.
