are used for queue detection, ramp metering and mainline vehicle
detection on the Marquette Interchange Project, a large
infrastructure improvement project consisting of 21 miles of urban
roadways and 28 ramps in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The traffic
data collected by RTMS is also used to provide real-time
information to drivers on the extensive travel time system which
uses a variable message sign system throughout the Milwaukee area.
WisDOT ITS Operations Manager, Don Schell, stated, "We are pleased
with the operation of the G4 RTMS detector. The detectors have fit
seamlessly into our existing network and are providing the required
traffic data." Brian Scharles, Manager of Technical Services at
TAPCO, our distribution partner responsible for the installation
commented, "The G4 RTMS detectors were extremely easy to deploy and
we were able to place the units at locations where other model
detectors would not operate." The Marquette Interchange project has
won numerous awards and honors from industry organizations,
including the American Road and Transportation Builders
Association, American Association of State Highway Transportation
Officials, National Steel Bridge Alliance, and American Council of
Engineering Companies. The G4 RTMS radars are also deployed and in
operation on the I-94 and I-43 highways around Milwaukee for use as
mainline detectors to provide real-time traffic data for the WisDOT
MONITOR system. More than 150 RTMS radars have been deployed on the
system since 1993. About Image Sensing Image Sensing Systems, Inc.
