TxDOT Smart Work Zones Project

Description

This project will implement smart work zone technology as work zone management practice into future construction projects. The purpose of the technology is to optimize safety and mobility in and around work zones, and provide real time data (speeds, volumes, delay/travel times, etc.) that could be viewed TMC operators and maintenance staff. Real time data can be shared with the public through DMS, a web interface and social media.
