Arizona, while known for beautiful weather, has a unique section of I-10 where fields of loose dirt and high winds create massive walls of dust. These conditions dramatically reduce visibility for motorists in a matter of minutes, which has caused 83 dust-related crashes in only a five-year period with three of those crashes involving fatalities. With an overall goal is to enhance awareness, mitigate traffic delays and reduce crashes due to low visibility dust events, ADOT deployed an early warning dust detection warning system along a 10-mile segment of I-10 near Eloy, Arizona that uses remote sensing equipment to automatically control speed limits during periods of low visibility.

North Carolina’s I-26 widening project stretched approximately 17 miles with a scope that included the demolition of five bridges. Traffic management for this work was initially planned as median crossovers with barrel separation between lanes of opposing traffic. The time r

Over a period of more than 4 years, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) have been teaming together to develop and implement a comprehensive interagency data acquisition and management program. By reducing unnecessarily data duplication,
