Presented By: Michigan Transportation Student Organization (MiTSO)
MiTSO Tour of Oakland County Traffic Operations Center
Have you ever wondered how traffic lights respond in real-time and coordinate to relieve congestion? Have you ever seen highway information boards with travel time estimates and wanted to know where they came from? Or maybe you’ve wondered how emergency responders coordinate to respond to traffic accidents on the highway?
This Friday, 11/22, the Michigan Transportation Student Organization (MiTSO) will be offering a tour of the Oakland County Traffic Operations Center (TOC). The TOC is responsible for monitoring all county intersections in real-time, adjusting traffic lights and coordinating them as necessary to reduce congestion. Additionally, they coordinate with emergency response and law enforcement in order to respond to and clear accidents that block the roads.
The tour will be at 1pm and transportation will be provided. We will be leaving GG Brown at 11:30am and will return by 5pm. More details will be provided closer to the event.
