Ohio Department of Transportation (ODoT) has entered into a public private partnership with SpeedInfo which will see more than 1,000 solar-powered vehicle radar sensors deployed along important metro-corridor interstate and state roads. Traffic data from SpeedInfo sensors continuously feed ODoT's web-based system for traffic management and real-time road speeds and travel times are available through www.buckeyetraffic.org. The advanced system also distributes travel time information to an expanding network
Ohio Department of Transportation (784 ODOT) has entered into a public private partnership with 4090 Speedinfo which will see more than 1,000 solar-powered vehicle radar sensors deployed along important metro-corridor interstate and state roads.
Traffic data from SpeedInfo sensors continuously feed ODoT's web-based system for traffic management and real-time road speeds and travel times are available through %$Linker:External 0 0 0 oLinkExternal www.buckeyetraffic.org Buck Eye Traffic false http://www.buckeyetraffic.org/ false false %>. The advanced system also distributes travel time information to an expanding network of digital message signs throughout the state, to highway advisory radio and also guides ODoT employees involved with traffic analysis and management. Sensors are installed on average one mile apart in urban centres and two miles apart in rural areas on every major interstate, US and state route in Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo and Covington, Kentucky.
After the first deployment of SpeedInfo sensors, a university-based research effort validated the speed information and eventually led to an ODOT commitment to use radar for future projects.
"In a 'do more with less' environment, SpeedInfo's low-cost approach of offering a turn-key data services business model that includes sensor network installation and maintenance, near real-time information with service performance guarantees, up to the minute updates and high ROI continues to be well received," said Charlie Armiger, SpeedInfo's VP of programme development
