Friday 11/22: Oakland Traffic Operations Center Tour
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? Well you’re in luck! This Friday, 11/22, 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 further block the roads. The tour is scheduled for 1pm-4pm. We will be leaving from north campus around 11:30am and will be back to campus before 5pm. Transportation will be provided. Please fill out the google form (https://forms.gle/qakMZ8u2DBotAnj56) by noon on Wednesday (11/20) if you are interested so that we can organize transportation!
