Description

This project will expand the center–to–center support structure, ITS device deployments and Incident Management Plan to include SH 20 (Doniphan Drive). The proposed ICM communication network for the Doniphan Drive Corridor will be integral to the existing alignment for approximately 15 miles from the state line to Racetrack Dr, which then connects to the Border West Expressway. The initial stage of the ICM will be to install a conduit duct bank with fiber optic cable between the southbound travel lanes and the right of way adjacent to the BNSF railroad. This fiber communication network will provide the potential to connect to each of the traffic signal controllers, school zones flasher systems, and the proposed Sun Metro and El Paso County transit bus shelters along the Doniphan Drive corridor. At strategic locations, Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) will be installed to provide real time information to the public, Bluetooth readers for travel time data collection, and CCTV cameras to provide incident verification and corridor monitoring. In addition to real–time traffic monitoring and support, this initial ICM project sets the stage for Connected and Autonomous vehicles to be used within the Doniphan Drive Corridor in the future.
