The GTIS is the computer system facilitating the integration and interoperation of ITS within the Lake Michigan Interstate Gateway Alliance (LMIGA) Corridor. The GTIS collects information from various systems, validates, and fuses this information for dissemination via the www.travelmidwest.com website. Information handled by the Gateway Traveler Information System includes both incidents and planned event data (construction and special events) that impact operations, and data from field devices such as vehicle detectors, cameras, and DMS, as well as derived traffic measures such as congestion, travel times, and speeds. The www.travelmidwest.com website includes maps and tabular information, and the ability to sign up for automated traffic alerts and trucker reports. There is additional coordination and data sharing planned between the GTIS and the IDOT Central Office as well as the traveler information website gettingaroundillinois.com. GTIS is currently being expanded to serve the Great Lakes Regional Transportation Operations Coalition (GLRTOC) area and provide traveler information along the I–94 corridor from Minneapolis/St. Paul MN to Detroit and Port Huron MI. The GTIS is also being expanded to cover all interstates and limited access highways throughout the entire State of Illinois.
