Will County Smart Truck Corridors

Description

Smart Truck Corridors will include ITS technologies that will be used to provide increased monitoring of primary truck routes to identify issues more quickly like incidents and congestion, implement countermeasures, and optimize the movement of commercial vehicles. This project aims to better define, connect, and enforce truck routes, improve navigation for truck drivers, and enhance first/last mile connectivity with intermodal facilities. In addition, Smart Truck Corridors will improve east–west and north–south traffic flow across the county, address traffic flow issues along busy corridors, and provide advanced warning to motorists about unsafe conditions (e.g., flooding).
