This project has included tasks such as:

• evaluation of freeway monitoring hardware,
• providing traffic management team support,
• evaluating heavy truck crash experience and proposing mitigation measures,
• evaluating rural crash experience,
• assisting with issues related to deployment of ITS in the Dallas area,
