BRO-68-30.72, PID 93801, ODOT District 9 – The $2M project provided capacity improvements at the ramp terminals at S.R. 32 and U.S. 68. The project was a design/build contract to restripe the US 68 bridge over SR 32 and to build left turn lanes, make radius improvements, and install traffic signals at the ramp interchanges. Smart Services’ scope included the design of two traffic signals, and provision of coordination timing and evaluation for four intersections during six time periods. The timing plans were produced using Synchro and drive-throughs were performed with a Sony Action Cam which records GPS coordinates. These coordinates were imported into TruTraffic, the data summarized, and time-space diagrams presented in a final report. Mr. Stanhope presented this project at the Ohio Transportation Engineer’s Conference in 2016.
