The next T3 webinar takes place on Thursday18 April 18 at 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm ET, and discusses Smart Traffic Management: Lessons from New York City's Midtown in Motion (MiM) project, kicked off in summer 2011 by the 5590 New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) and the 831 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
The purpose of the MiM project is to promote multimodal mobility in the midtown core of Manhattan, a 110 square block area or zone from 2nd to 6th Avenues and from 42nd to 57th Streets.
The MiM project integrates features of active traffic management (ATM) and the full capabilities of NYCDOT intelligent transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure; a recent deployment of advanced solid- state traffic controllers (ASTCs) and a comprehensive network of sensors, including video, microwave, and electronic toll collection readers, a wireless communication system, and the New York City traffic control system software system, which manages the project.
The overall MiM deployment was large-scale and complex, yet highly cost-effective. The incremental investment was less than US$2 million.
Evaluation of the project is available and planning for future expansion of the MiM zone is presently underway.
