FFY25-26 intelligent transportation systems design

This $2,202,588.46 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) will fund the design of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies in Alaska. The project will hire a consultant to design software, hardware, and connections for ITS technologies such as dynamic message signs, roadside environmental sensors, avalanche monitoring systems, and weigh-in-motion bypass systems. This effort is intended to lead to potential future ground-disturbing implementation activities. The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities is the awardee for this two-year project, which was awarded on February 27, 2025.

Project description

This funding will design intelligent transportation system (its) technologies that were identified and developed in the FFY25-26 intelligent transportation system development project. This includes hiring a consultant to design the technologies, including software, hardware and connections to other its technologies. This project is intended to lead to potentially ground disturbing activities such as dynamic message signs, new roadside environmental sensors, avalanche monitoring systems, and ground disturbing sensors that support weigh in motion bypass systems.
