The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) is to add truck parking guidance to its Open Roads advanced traffic management system (ATMS). Open Roads, as a sub consultant to ALL Construction and Davis H Elliot Company will be deploying the OpenTMS Parking Guidance module in partnership with 7045 TCS International, a 108 Q-Free company.
The parking guidance system will utilise wireless sensors to monitor parking space availability in rest areas and provide space availability information in real time to the WVDOH’s state-wide ATMS central system, OpenTMS. The ATMS will disseminate the information to WVDOH transportation centre operations staff via the ATMS central system and to truck drivers via dynamic parking guidance signs installed along the roadway, as well as through the 511 traveller information platform.
Open Roads’ ATMS solution, OpenTMS has been deployed in West Virginia since 2008; its modular architecture will enable the seamless integration of the parking guidance module.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with the West Virginia Division of Highways to expand and grow their ITS portfolio. The deployment of the Parking Guidance solution will promote travelling public safety as truck drivers locate available parking spaces efficiently,” said Barbara Skiffington, president and CEO of Open Roads.
