Transportation Engineering and Safety Conference 2024

This session will discuss Traffic Management Center (TMC) and law enforcement dispatch center assessments for State, County, and City agencies across North America that AECOM has performed. The purpose of these assessments is to identify areas of opportunity and existing strengths that can be leveraged to enhance current operational quality and consistency, in addition to adding expanded service areas. In the presentation, we will highlight common findings and recommendations from the numerous anonymously-referenced programs we have evaluated. Our goal is to share valuable lessons learned that can apply to any operations-focused program, not just TMCs. The SR 28, Section A64 Wrong Way Detection System HSIP project will begin construction in 2024 in Allegheny County. Within this freeway corridor from East Ohio Street, City of Pittsburgh to the interchange with SR 910, Harmar Township, twenty (20) ramps will be upgraded to include an ITS wrong way detection and warning system. The project scope of work is the installation of sensors to detect wrong way drivers, cameras, and LED border lit signs, also alert notifications to the Traffic Management Center of a wrong way driver. Physical work will include the installation of controller boxes, fiber optic cable, wireless radios, electrical tie ins, cameras, and signs.
