Technical Support for Tolling Authority’s Intelligent Transportation System

Project Description

The Tollway deploys and operates a Traffic Incident Management System (TIMS). The system consists of CCTV cameras, vehicle detectors, permanent and portable dynamic message signs, weigh-in-motion stations, and road weather information stations (RWIS). SDI was contracted to provide Engineering services required to provide the Tollway with necessary management, oversight, and technical support related to the maintenance of the ITS equipment, TIMS communications and networking, and fiber optics operations and maintenance.

Client Objectives

Engineering services are required to provide the Tollway with necessary management, network integration, oversight, and technical support related to the construction and maintenance of the ITS equipment, and design changes to ITS communication and networking. Services are also required to review contract documents and specifications prepared by other consultants with respect to impacts to the ITS Network by the roadway design and other improvements of the Move program. The selected consultant would provide on-site staff for this support.
