Description

This project will upgrade existing as well as expand the deployment of Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) to increase the number of roadway miles with ITS devices managed by the TxDOT TransVista TMC. Device modernization includes replacing the older DMS with color DMS. Increased DMS coverage can assist TMC operators in communicating traffic/travel conditions to drivers such as incidents or construction downstream of the DMS location. Specific priority locations have been identified in ITS Master Plan along Loop 375 and along IH–10.

DMS will be connected to TransVista either via fiber or wireless communications. DMS at the following locations are planned to be connected to TransVista via fiber communications:
– IH–10 at Anthony: 2 DMS; one for EB at 1,500 ft south of Antonio St. and one for WB at Travel Information Center.
– Loop 375 from BUS 54 (Dyer St.) to Spur 601: 2 DMS at the locations on the opposite direction of travel of the existing DMS.
– Spur 601 from US 54 to Loop 375: 5 DMS along the corridor.

DMS at the following locations are planned to be connected wirelessly:
– IH–10 at Sierra Blanca: 2 DMS.
– IH–10 at Van Horn: 2 DMS.
– US 54 from Mesquite Hills Drive to TX–NM Stateline (Stateline Rd.): 2 DMS.
– US 62/180 from FM 659 (Zaragoza Blvd.) to FM 2775 (Hueco Tanks Rd.): 2 DMS.
