6.4 Track 3: Expand ITS
The projects identified in this section are intended to expand the coverage
of existing systems, and to add new ITS functions and services regionally.
They include ITS on freeways, several transit projects, emergency vehicle
pre-emption at traffic signals within the City of Cincinnati, snow and ice
detection and advanced snow plows for improved snow and ice operations, parking
management, and safety projects. The projects that have a defined geographic
scope are illustrated on Figures 6-2A and 6-2B. To expand ITS, the following
fifteen projects were identified:
15. ARTIMIS Field Device and Communications Expansion
(shown on Figures 6-2A and 6-2B)
16. Complete 1/10th Freeway Reference Markers Coverage
(shown on Figures 6-2A and 6-2B)
17. Highway-Rail Intersection Advanced Safety System
18. METRO/TANK Transit Itinerary Planning System
19. METRO Advanced Para-Transit Scheduling and Dispatch System
20. TANK Advanced Para-Transit Scheduling and Dispatch System
21. Ramp Metering on I-75 within the City of Cincinnati
22. Bus Traffic Signal Priority
23. Real-Time Transit Arrival Information System
24. Truck-Oriented Traveler Information System
25. Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption on City of Cincinnati Traffic Signals
(shown on Figures 6-2A and 6-2B)
26. Bridge Snow and Ice Detection
27. Research Program/Downhill Speed Detection Field Test on I-71/I-75
(shown on Figures 6-2A and 6-2B)
28. Advanced Snow Plows
29. Parking Management System Around Stadiums
30. Red Light Enforcement
The tables following Figures 6-2A and 6-2B provide additional detail on the
projects in Track 3.

Install parking management system connecting lots and garages
near stadiums with on-street DMS and/or HAR and ARTIMIS. Three levels
of parking management could be evaluated. All three require information
dissemination via DMS and/or HAR and ARTIMIS. The first level involves
human visual assessments of parking availability, and e-mail or phoning
those assessments to a central location where parking information would
be disseminated. The second level involves installing automated counters
at parking entrances, which relay information to the centralized system
automatically for dissemination. The third level involves installing detection
in every affected parking space, with the capability of guiding drivers
to an exact parking space in addition to sending information to a centralized
system for dissemination. A public-private partnership should be explored
for deployment. |
