Template for Reporting Evaluation Results (Short)
Template for Reporting Evaluation Results (Short) Project Reference: IE-01 Project Name: MIU ITS Deployment ITS Corridor: Arc Atlantique Project Location: M7, M8, M11, M18 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY THE PROJECT 1.1 Nature of the Site The MIU ITS Deployment encompasses the deployment of a Journey Time Data Collections technologies and Variable Message Signs on motorways located on the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive networks. The ITS deployment occurred on the following four major inter-urbans in Ireland: M7 – The M7 (E20) forms part of the Dublin to Limerick national primary road. The M7 is 186 km in length and the longest motorway in Ireland M8 – The M8 motorway is an inter-urban motorway which forms part of the motorway from the Dublin to Cork. The M8 is 149 km in length and motorway commences County Laois at the motorway interchange with the M7. M11 - The M11 motorway is an inter-urban motorway forming part of the national primary route from Dublin to Wexford. The national primary route is 134km in length and continues to Rosslare as the N25. The road forms part of European route E01. M18 - The M18 motorway is an inter-urban motorway linking the cities of Limerick and Galway via the large town of Ennis and the major airport at Shannon beside the mouth of the eponymous river. The Journey Time Data Collections technologies are located on the M7 between Dublin and Limerick. This route was selected for the Data Collection (sub-function1) element of the project as it provided the greatest coverage for a single motorway and existing roadside equipment and back-office support facilitated the subsequent data fusion and processing (sub-function 2).
