TrafficTV: Updates and Improvements

This project will update the automated TrafficTV applications to use hardware and software that are more current and provide additional functionality, including the option for AMBER ALERT notification. TrafficTV has operated, on UWTV2 channel 76, as an automated source of traffic and traveler information since it was deployed on June 1, 1998. During that seven-year period, the hardware and operating system supporting the application have remained unchanged, and both are now out of date. In addition, new functionality for communicating incident information, voice information, and Amber Alerts will be designed and built into TrafficTV. This will be done in coordination with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) operations.
