An 8-mile stretch of I-65 and a 16-mile stretch of the Borman Expressway in Gary, Ind., should have a "smart highway" traffic management system in place by next month.
The Associated Press reports that the $11.5 million system includes message signs, cameras, sensors and TV monitors, all linked to computers and pagers. Message boards will alert drivers to problems ahead. Eventually, the system will be tied to a web site offering real-time traffic conditions.
Similar systems are also being installed in Indianapolis and Evansville. The system will work in concert with similar automated traffic systems in the Gary-Chicago-Milwaukee corridor along Interstate 94. The corridor is one of the busiest in the nation.
