Incidents on I-95 can cause serious traffic impacts on local roads. Are ITS and incident management strategies planned?
ITS, Intelligent Transportation Systems, use advanced technologies to increase the safety and efficiency of the surface transportation system. ITS are a means for managing traffic and for keeping the public informed about traffic and transit conditions. Some of the advanced technologies include ramp metering, dynamic message signs (DMS), highway advisory radio (HAR), incident detection and closed circuit television cameras (CCTV), electronic toll collection, signal systems and traveler information systems. ITS programs have an intermodal component that incorporates highways, transit and railroads. Incident management is a specific application of ITS which uses predetermined policies and procedures so municipalities and agencies can react, respond, remove and reopen portions of highways that are closed by a crash. ITS equipment and infrastructure will be installed in 2010 along I-95 from the Delaware State Line to the Girard Point Bridge in Philadelphia. PennDOT will install CCTV, elect
