Overview
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) works to maintain our roads, but we are also working to make the roads we have already built safer and less congested. Through our Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) program, we are adding advanced technologies and partnerships to our traditional practices - from construction to clearing crashes to plowing snow - increasing mobility, reliability and safety along the way. Some TSMO benefits include:
Efficient commutes - Optimally timed traffic lights help vehicles move more smoothly through intersections. Harmonizing traffic lights can reduce travel times by 8 to 20 percent.
Clear routes - Michigan Traffic Incident Management Effort (Mi-TIME) provides important training on quickly and safely clearing traffic incidents. So far, Mi-TIME has trained more than 5,600 responders.
Safer construction zones - Technologies to safely manage construction zones help decrease the number of work zone crashes, injuries and deaths.
Easier-to-use travel information - MDOT's Mi Drive website provides 24/7 traffic and incident information.
Fewer wasted gallons of gas - Travelers won't burn fuel idiling in congestion, enhancing livability and sustainability.
Better, faster, cheaper, safer, and smarter - These solutions allow MDOT to more cost-effectively reduce congestion, increase safety, and provide Michigan residents with measurable benefits NOW
Michigan leading the way - Planet M promotes innovation in transportation mobility technologies across the state.
