PORTLAND, ME--(Marketwired - Mar 28, 2017) - Tilson and MobilityTech announce today that the companies have been selected by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) for the design and build of an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) project along the F. E. Everett Turnpike. Tilson is an information technology professional services and network construction company that builds, integrates and maintains information technology and communications infrastructure. MobilityTech is a consulting firm providing management services to public and private ITS, transportation engineering and construction organizations.
The project includes design, planning and installation of dynamic message signs, closed circuit cameras, roadway detectors and wireless communications systems linking the ITS to the NHDOT Transportation Management Center. These systems streamline incident management, improve safety in work zones, facilitate greater fuel efficiency and create "smart roads" that could potentially guide future self-driving cars.
"The ITS will deliver real-time traffic and road condition information that helps people travel more safely while assisting New Hampshire's Department of Transportation to manage their facilities more efficiently," states Mike Costa, MobilityTech Principal and strategic partner to Tilson. "Autonomous vehicles are right around the corner. The wireless infrastructure that Tilson builds out will be a key enabler to emerging technologies such as self-driving vehicles."
The project leverages the unique qualifications and experience of all organizations involved. These capabilities include Tilson's expertise in fiber optics, RF engineering, and wireless construction and construction management, as well as MobilityTech's expertise in planning, designing, implementing and operating transportation technology projects, and IBI Group's deep ITS and systems engineering experience.
