  3. Toledo Regional Systems Map

  4. Devices • 10 Dynamic Message Signs • 60 CCTV Cameras • 34 Flow Detectors • 1 (New) Highway Advisory Radio • Currently there are 3 already in place • 60 Miles Of Speed Detection

  5. Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) Definition: Signs that are capable of displaying a variety of messages FMS uses: • Warn motorists of congestion due to incidents • Display travel times for roadway segments

  6. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Definition: Cameras that are used to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors FMS uses: • To detect and confirm incidents on major routes in the Toledo area

  7. Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) Definition: Low powered AM radio stations that provide motorists with traffic information FMS uses: • To provide motorists travel times, incident information, construction activities, and on-going or special events that may impact traffic

  8. Flow Detectors Definition: Devices used to gather real-time speed data FMS uses: • Formulate the speed data to produce travel times • Detect real-time traffic conditions • May provide traffic counts

  9. Device Locations • DMS - in advance of system-to-system interchanges or other primary diversion opportunities • CCTV - continuous coverage if possible; spot locations as necessary • HAR - similar to DMS but anticipate 5-9 mile range • TMC - District 2 office

  10. Typical Construction • Device locations by GPS coordinates • No fiber optics • Leased telecommunications services • Pole-mounted cabinets • Construction sequencing if necessary • ODOT responsible for communications equipment • Contractor tests devices locally • Interim operations possible

  11. Device Map Map taken from 2008 DPP

  12. Freeway Service Patrol The mission of the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) is to improve traffic safety and maintain traffic flow by assisting with the efficient clearing of freeway travel lanes and shoulders of obstructions and providing traffic control around incidents. Toledo’s FSP is operated from the Northwood Outpost

Traffic Management Center • Consolidates the surveillance, monitoring, and control of a Freeway Management System • Communicates traffic restrictions (incidents), travel time, and travel conditions to the motoring public through the use of various devices. • Works closely with Freeway Service Patrol • Staffed during peak traffic hours

  15. Toledo TMC • Operate FMS and ODOT signal systems • Use existing space in D2/Bowling Green • Central control system is BuckeyeTraffic • Typical TMC about 500 SF • No traditional video wall • Remote operations possible • 911 data coordination • Satellite ops at Lucas Co. EMA

  16. Buckeye Traffic • Central Operating Software • Password protected interface can control CCTV, DMS, and HAR from any computer. • Can display color coded speed maps to detect incidents. • Will be used for Toledo FMS • Website • Repository for incident information, roadway weather conditions, and scheduled construction

  17. Speed Map • Speed data is updated every minute during the day and every 3-5 minutes overnight > 50 MPH 26 - 50 MPH 0 - 25 MPH * Toledo will have a similar map
