Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies have gained popularity in recent years as a method for relieving road congestion and improving safety through better traffic and incident management. Since 2006, MDOT has invested more than $100 million in ITS. As of 2013, MDOT operated more than 800 devices throughout the state, covering more than 500 miles of highways.
