Planning Guidance for the Installation and Use of Technology Devices for Transportation Operations and Maintenance

ENTERPRISE Transportation Pooled Fund Study

CCTV Guideline 4 - Traveler Information

Purpose: To allow travelers to understand traffic delay and road weather conditions by viewing images of the roadway from the Internet prior to departing.

Engineering judgment should be used to assess potential implications that may result from the installation of CCTV. This planning guidance does not mandate the use of CCTV.

1a. The location visible by the camera image has a history of congestion on a regular basis (i.e. each commuter day is a candidate for congestion).

OR

1b. The location is prone to weather situations that travelers would not otherwise be forewarned about (e.g. spots where fog regularly forms, bridges that ice early, mountain passes with weather that differs from approaches).

OR

1c. The location is in a remote area that receives considerable traffic volume due to commercial vehicle traffic or recreational traffic.

AND

2. The majority of travelers to the area have Internet access in proximity to the area where camera images are of value to travelers prior to departure.

Partial Guideline Criteria:
If either #1a, #1b, or #1c above are met, the warrant is considered ‘Partially Met’. If one or more additional purposes are partially met at this location for this device, the device should be considered.
