Description

This service package provides central monitoring and control, communications, and field equipment that support freeway management. It supports a range of freeway management control strategies including ramp metering, interchange metering, mainline lane controls, mainline metering, and other strategies including variable speed controls. This package incorporates the instrumentation included in the Network Surveillance service package to support freeway monitoring and adaptive strategies as an option.
