Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): Sertex Expands Connecticut’s Traffic Safety Fiber Network
Connecticut is investing in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) with smarter, safer highways—and Sertex is at the forefront of the fiber optic infrastructure powering this transformation.
I-95 is a primary thoroughfare in coastal Connecticut and one of the most heavily traveled interstate freeways in the country. Along I-95 (and nearby sections of Route 7) from Fairfield to the New York state line, Sertex teams are installing 35 miles of fiber optic cable that will support a new public safety Incident Management System (IMS) in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, and Fairfield.
As one of the few companies qualified and approved to work on CTDOT fiber optic systems, Sertex is proud to be part of this IMS deployment.
With dedicated, highly trained cable installation crews, we are furnishing and installing new fiber optic cable to interconnect the IMS equipment.
Cutting-edge battery-powered machines are being used for this delicate deployment. The specialized, noise-free equipment allows Sertex employees to safely and efficiently complete fiber pulls in a one-person operation.
Intelligent Transportation Technology
The smart grid IMS system is designed to help Connecticut’s Department of Transportation monitor roadway conditions and infrastructure, detect and verify incidents, and disseminate traffic and road condition information to first responders, the motoring public, and other transportation stakeholders.
Once operational, the fiber-based IMS system in Fairfield County will connect to other IMS technology throughout the state, enabling traffic flow monitors, closed-circuit television cameras, variable message signs, road weather information stations, and other devices that provide critical real-time information to enhance motorist security and safety, reduce congestion, and maximize throughput.
