Vehicular and truck traffic across the George Washington Bridge facility increased substantially throughout the late 1990s, mainly as a result of a booming US and New York-New Jersey metro area economy. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey recognized that action had to be taken to prevent deterioration of the region's mobility. With an inability to construct new capacity for many reasons, the Port Authority turned to technology for a solution to the growing travel demand. In 1997, the Port Authority embarked on a project to deploy a unique Intelligent Transportation System at the George Washington Bridge. This paper focuses on the origins, motivations, procurement complex system integration and installation of Intelligent Transportation System technologies in the specific areas of Incident Management and Traveler Information. |
