Highway officials are beginning to install sensors and cameras on roads near Detroit that will be able to provide construction, traffic and weather updates to motorists.
The system has been installed along 20 miles of Interstate 96 and I-696. The Michigan Department of Transportation hopes to deploy sensors along 50 miles of the expressways as part of its connected-corridor initiative.
The goal is to establish the longest stretch of technology-enabled “smart” roads in the country, with the ability to “talk” with certain vehicles. Several automakers and the University of Michigan are working with the agency to equip future vehicles with the necessary technology.
