Department of Transportation
- Project Start Date:
August
2003
The $3.2 million
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) project includes dynamic signs,
speed monitors, zooming webcams and improved traffic radio
information. The project aims to improve the department's ability
to react to weather, road and traffic conditions and inform travelers
more quickly of them. The work will be concentrated in the 10-mile
section of I-80 between the Summit and Buford, mileposts 325 to 335, but
some of the technology will also be installed between Laramie and the
Summit.

Skyline
Products, a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of ITS-Grade™
dynamic message sign (DMS) solutions, has been selected once again to
supply DMS units for the Wyoming Department of Transportation's (WYDOT)
sophisticated rural interstate advanced traveler information system (ATIS).
The signs for this project will be used primarily for weather- and
incident-related advisory messages.
The large-scale,
Skyline Products™ LED DMS systems will be positioned both overhead and
on the roadside of both east- and westbound directions of Interstate 80
near the East and West Green River Interchanges. Located on this stretch
of freeway are a tunnel and a particularly troublesome area in adverse
winter conditions for motorists. The WYDOT District Office will use the
remote DMS to display the appropriate advisory messages based on data
gathered by automated weather stations and web cameras.
This
installation is part of a larger project to make improvements to the Green
River tunnels on I-80 and the East Green River Interchange. WYDOT expects
work to begin as soon as the weather allows in the spring. The entire
project is expected to be completed by October 31, 2003.

In December, WYDOT let
to contract an incident management system for the Green River tunnels on
I-80. This project will
include the replacement of the existing tunnel lighting system with a
new tube lighting system, replacement of two drum signs with new LED DMS,
installation of two new overhead LED DMS, upgrading of an existing RWIS
site, installation of a new RWIS site, installation of new road closure
systems to control tunnel traffic, and installation of two WEB cameras
to monitor conditions inside each tunnel bore.
The completion date for the east bound bore is summer 2002 and
the west bound bore late spring 2003.

- The Wyoming Department of
Transportation recently let to contract the installation of a
bridge ice warning system, which will be installed on a railroad
overpass bridge deck on US 30 in Nugget Canyon in the western
part of the state. This
system will consist of ice sensors and vehicle monitors in both
directions of travel on the bridge deck, advance automatic
warning signs, and radio communication links between the bridge
system and the signs. Additionally,
this location is being evaluated to determine the best method of
sending the ice information from Nugget Canyon into the
Department's Wyoming Roads system.
This project is scheduled for completion by late winter
or early spring 2002.

A statewide ITS Strategic Plan has recently been
completed for the Wyoming Department of Transportation by Meyer, Mohaddes
Associates consulting firm. The
ITS Plan took approximately two years to complete and consisted of phases
1 and 2 of the contract between MMA and WYDOT.
Phase 3 of the contract will establish a CVO/CVISN business plan
for the Department. Wyoming
is currently participating in the national CVISN workshops as part of the
phase 3 effort.
