The Kansas DOT implemented a Smart Work Zone (SWZ) system during the I-235/US-54 interchange project in Wichita. The overall goals were to improve safety by expanding merge zones to remove potentially dangerous merge points near work zones, and to reduce delay by monitoring traffic conditions with cameras and traffic sensors, and displaying travel times and alternate route information on roadside dynamic message signs.
