The DMS work is part of a $24.1 million project to upgrade and improve Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) components across the Philadelphia region. The ITS equipment will be used by PennDOT’s Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC) to monitor travel conditions and provide motorists with real-time information about area highways.
