Guidance From Maintenance of Equipment Plowing Roads To Design of the infrastructure System Management With components like we are discussing today The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

Part of the Mission Technology Transfer Support Research in Many Fields Provide Deliverables Implemented by Local Agencies The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

This research is a perfect example Use Dataloggers Performance Measures Communication Technology Allow Traffic Personnel Receive Data from Signalized Intersections Modify Timing Improve Traffic Flow in Many Different Circumstances More accuracy and less effort than in the past The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

The Technology Allow Local Agencies Few signals Little modification in the past Ability to Simply analyze their situation Make corrections may never have considered Improving flows that might not otherwise The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

Allow other Agencies Such as Elkhart County The City of Lafayette The Town of Fishers Make corridor improvements Improving traffic flows Reducing congestion Associated affects Providing positive implications in a number of areas The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

Energy Conservation Forefront of current thought and policy processes These systems can Improve energy conservation Allow local agencies to improve networks Potential funding for mitigation and conservation Minimizing upfront investment Helping to lower overall system cost The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

This research will not only be implementable Will improve life for the travelling public Reduced travel times Reduced Fuel Costs Associated Vehicle Costs Will improve efficiency of traffic personnel Saving local agencies operational funds Monitoring and maintaining these systems The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program

We encourage you to continue the dialogue Work together to devise solutions Improve the systems Maintain the pace to make it a reality in the near future The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program
