Project Name: ADOT CMAR Agua Fria Freeway ITS Improvements
Construction Cost: $600,000.00
Description: CS Technologies, CS Construction, and Kimley Horn have teamed up with ADOT to design and construct a remarkable new Freeway Management System. The upgrades on Arizona’s SR101L Agua Fria Freeway are all under the deadline of the Valleys busiest public event month in history…. Yes we’re talking about Super Bowl XLIX!
CS Technologies is giving the 101 a technology facelift by installing and integrating the following:
- Creating a wide area network of Intelligent Transportation Systems devices along a 24 mile corridor of the loop 101
- Installation of 21 IP CCTV cameras mounted on 55 foot traffic poles with raising/lowering systems that allow for servicing without the use of expensive aerial work platforms and lane closures while helping ADOT to monitor how well traffic is moving.
- Installation of a ramp metering system that helps on-ramp traffic merge with main line traffic with better spacing, which reduces the premature traffic jams caused by large platoons of vehicles entering traffic as a group.
- Installation of new dynamic message signs aimed at informing motorists of real time conditions ahead allowing often times allowing for more informed driving decisions.
