About The Project

The North Dakota Department of Transportation in partnership with ND Information Technology, Highway Patrol and ND Department of Emergency Services have partnered to create a implementation strategy to build an innovative, statewide Transportation Management Center that incorporates a SMART Corridor along I-29 to better manage the state’s network of devices and sensors; expand roadway monitoring and condition reporting to an around the clock, year-long schedule; and streamline the deployment of advanced technologies. The SMART corridor is focused on Safety, Mobility, Automation, and Realtime Traffic Management through the integration of technology into I-29. This project was initiated when the state was awarded a 2021 RAISE planning grant. The plan will provide recommendations in 2024 and propose implementation over a 5 or 10-year period, depending on funding availability and scale.
