Texas DOT Uses ITS for End-of-Queue Warning in Work Zones
Date Posted:	5/7/2013
Description:	The Texas Department of Transportation is using traffic control devices equipped with sensors to detect the formation of queues and warn drivers of slowed/stopped traffic ahead. When the sensors identify queues, messages are posted to portable changeable message signs to alert drivers. Temporary portable rumble strips are also being used in some locations as part of the end-of-queue warning. The system is being rolled out in a large work zone on I-35, with the hope for use in other parts of the State in the future.
