I-76 Gateway Toll Plaza ARMS
Owner:
Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission
Location:
Philadelphia area, PA
Project Description:
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) owns and operates the
Gateway Toll Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76)
approximately 1 mile east of the Pennsylvania-Ohio state line. Each
year, more than 8 million travelers utilize the Gateway Toll Plaza to
enter and exit the Keystone State.
In order to reduce congestion and incidents caused by the 22,000
daily vehicles, the Commission awarded a contract to Transdyn to
furnish and install the ARMS-GTP (Automated Real-Time Message
System—Gateway Toll Plaza).
The system provides traveler information and warnings to motorists
nearing the toll plaza of congestion and allows the PTC to monitor
conditions on the approaches to the toll plaza.
