| 摘要： | The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) recently launched CommuterLink, an intelligent transportation system of electronic traffic equipment, computers, and communication systems, to make traveling along the Wasatch Front safer and more efficient. The Wasatch Front is Utah's urban corridor on the western side of the Wasatch Mountain Range. CommuterLink became operational April 27, 1999, with the grand opening of UDOT's new traffic operations center (TOC) in Salt Lake City. The TOC is the nerve center of CommuterLink and houses all the computer and communication systems that provide instant data on road and traffic conditions. By 2001, the system will cover more than 135 km of freeway and will include more than 480 km of fiber-optic cables, 550 traffic signals, 150 closed-circuit television cameras, and 57 variable message signs. In the future, CommuterLink will extend its area of coverage, add a telephone hotline that will give callers updates on road conditions and detailed messages about specific incidents, and incorporate Utah Transit Authority buses and light rail, providing realtime transit schedules. |
