Rutherford boulevard adaptive signal control technology project - intelligent transportation system

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $737,167 Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) on November 19, 2024. The grant funded the Rutherford Boulevard Adaptive Signal Control Technology Project, an Intelligent Transportation System initiative to implement an adaptive signal control system along Rutherford Boulevard, Northfield Boulevard, and adjacent routes in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The project entailed interconnecting 14 traffic signals with fiber optic cable, connecting them to the existing traffic operations center. It also included installing 9 additional CCTV cameras and upgrading selected signals to include pedestrian signal elements. The City of Murfreesboro was awarded a $269,077 sub-grant to execute these technology infrastructure improvements.
