Project Description:
With approximately 150,000 vehicles traveling I-95 and about 75,000 traveling SR 202 per day within the urban Philadelphia area, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 6 is increasing its investment in Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) in the urban Philadelphia area.
Transdyn developed, furnished and installed a complete Traffic and Incident Management System (TIMS) in the PennDOT District 6 Traffic Control Center (TCC).
The TCC is responsible for implementing real-time congestion and incident management strategies essential to maximizing the operation and safety of the expressway system and major arterial routes. TCC staff monitor a system of 96 CCTV cameras, 30 dynamic message signs and 110 non-intrusive detectors, and dispatches expressway service patrols within the five-county area of southeastern Pennsylvania. By collecting, coordinating and disseminating traffic information to both incident management responders and the traveling public, incidents can be cleared more efficiently and drivers provided with real-time information to base their travel decisions.
