Project Description:
The Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) currently owns
and operates the nine-mile Reversible Lanes Bridge built in the
median of the existing Selmon Crosstown Expressway. To alleviate
congestion, traffic on the new three-lane expressway flows
westbound into downtown during morning commute times and
reverses to eastbound during evening peak travel times. The new
structure gives commuters a nonstop route from Brandon to
downtown via the new Tampa Downtown Gateway at Meridian
Avenue.
Transdyn designed, developed, integrated, commissioned, and
supports this project that required a number of ITS components to
manage, control and operate the roadway. The new system
integrates and automates various ITS functions such as warning
gates, barrier gates, variable and changeable message signs, video
surveillance, vehicle detection and verification, and information
dissemination.
