In June 2024, a request from the Governor of Iowa via the Iowa DOT Executive Director was issued to find a way to display county road closures on the DOT 511 Site. The County Engineers Service Bureau already provide an Iowa 511 County Map. The information from the Iowa 511 County Map was launched as a new layer on the Iowa DOT 511 website on July 1 and on the mobile app July 9 with implementation from the Iowa’s traveler information consultant.
Data Integration
Statewide Mobility Analytics in Real-Time (SMART) Tool for Better Freeway Performance
ADOT partnered with the University of Arizona to develop the SMART tool, which integrates data from INRIX, loop detectors, and controller event-based data to provide a comprehensive operations analysis suite. The benefits this project brings include not only better freeway performance for the public, but it balances the ramp performance to better meet the needs of local agencies.
