Traffic Management
As the number of automobiles on the road increases and the need for better traffic control and pre-planning for possible emergency evacuations become more important, effective Traffic Management and Traffic Engineering have become major issues for many state, county, and city governments. Traffic Engineers have long been aware of the tremendous advantages real-time traffic cameras and traffic data sensors can provide, but for many years the expense involved with traffic camera systems made them cost prohibitive. But now, with InLine fiber optic and wireless networking expertise at the disposal of state and local governments, the cost of deploying traffic cameras, traffic sensors, and traffic signals is greatly reduced.
InLine can also provide wireless networking and programming capability for traffic warning systems, Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), and hurricane and catastrophe evacuation management systems.

ALDOT Hurricane Evacuation Route
When the Alabama Department of Transportation identified the need for better management of their Hurricane Evacuation I-65 Contra-Flow Operations, they turned to the experts at InLine. InLine’s engineers and construction teams designed and built a network that stretches from Mobile to Montgomery along I-65 and supports hundreds of users. This network is designed to provide real-time video and traffic radar sensor data to ALDOT Central Office, ALDOT 6th Division Headquarters in Montgomery, and ALDOT 9th Division Headquarters in Mobile.
This network is extremely important to the State of Alabama. ALDOT chose InLine as the only company with the expertise and ability to perform the design and deployment of such an important project.
ALDOT relied on InLine for this job because they know that the Hurricane Evacuation Route network is a system that MUST work under the harshest of conditions. In order to provide ALDOT with the ability to effectively manage the
I-65 southern contra-flow crossover, which is located in a remote area of south Alabama, InLine designed this system to provide wireless high-speed mobile data and internet connectivity to ALDOT vehicles in that area, so that they can tap into the camera system from equipped on-site and in-route vehicles during an emergency evacuation.
