Intelligent Transportation Systems
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) improve transportation safety and mobility and enhance American productivity through advanced wireless communication technologies. TDOT's Intelligent Transportation System, called TDOT SmartWay, uses live video cameras to monitor highways from Transportation Management Centers (TMCs) across the state, sensors to gauge traffic flow and large electronic message boards to provide urgent traffic notices and safety messages to drivers. Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville have fully-integrated TDOT SmartWay systems.
In addition to operating TDOT SmartWay, TSMO is responsible for managing the state’s ITS infrastructure, designing and delivering new ITS projects, deploying connected vehicle technologies, and establishing statewide ITS standards and specifications. The team also oversees ITS document and asset management, maintains the Qualified Products List, and leads the development of TDOT’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems program—advancing innovation and supporting a safer, more efficient transportation network.
