Improving Traffic Data Collection Using Wireless Technology
Clint Gregory, Caltrans District 10

This presentation focused on an intelligent modem that allows systems to collect, process, and distribute data within a wireless network. The system integrates into the Caltrans Automated Warning System (CAWS) as a means to reduce highway incidents caused by high traffic volumes and severe weather conditions. The data from the system is also sent to the Freeway Performance Measurement System for use in real-time traffic decisions. |
Clint Gregory, Caltrans, talked about improving traffic data collection using wireless technology.
