As part of long term efforts to tackle traffic congestion in urban centres, the 7375 Jamaican Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing, is looking to establish a modern Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to provide real-time monitoring and control of highway traffic operations, through a centralised traffic management centre (TMC).
A review of traffic congestion and road capacity has shown that congestion in urban centres island-wide has grown considerably over the last decade.
Project objectives include the real time monitoring and control of traffic signal operations; construction of real time traffic data collection system (speed, volume); construction of a national traveller advisory system; and construction of a national high speed broadband communication system.
