7.1 NWP Goal Assessment and Planning for ITS Corridor Deployment

The North/West Passage completed an ITS Integrated Corridor Strategic Plan in July 2007. The plan included the corridor’s vision, goals and objectives. Also, included in the Strategic Plan are maps of ITS device locations throughout the I-90 and I-94 corridor (RWIS, DMS portable and permanent, CCTV, sensors, Weigh in Motion (WIM) Station, HAR, Rest Area Kiosks, Regional TOC/TMC, VSL Signs, and Automated Gate Closure). Project 5.3: Consistent and Coordinated DMS Use completed in 2011 developed a Google map with updated location information for DMS, HAR, traveler information services and TMC/TOC contacts along the corridor.

This project focused on validating corridor goals, assessing how previous projects have contributed to those goals, and identifying potential gaps in existing deployments in relation to the goals. As part of this project, research was completed on how each North/West Passage state plans and prioritizes ITS deployments along the corridor. States were also asked if and how they reference the Strategic Plan in their overall planning efforts.
