Smarter Motorways
Smarter Motorways is an exciting initiative being rolled out across south east Queensland, employing state-of-the-art, smart technology to reduce stop-start travel, improve safety and provide more predictable travel times.
Smarter Motorways technologies include:
- variable speed limit and lane control signs to manage the flow of traffic, improving safety and fuel efficiency
- coordinated use of traffic lights on motorway on-ramps (ramp signals) to control the rate at which vehicles merge onto the motorway in order to maximise traffic flow
- travel time and electronic messaging signs to provide drivers with real-time advice about travel conditions
- roadside data systems such as traffic detectors and closed circuit television cameras to quickly detect and respond to incidents and build intelligence on the operation of the motorway network.
