TxDOT Flood Warning System Project
Description
Flood detection and warning systems use field sensors for high water detection and activate advanced warning signs to alert drivers approaching the high water roadway segments. Flood warning functions may be completed locally by field detection and warning signs or in conjunction with a communications connection to the TMC if desired.
