Traffic Signal System contract includes construction administration and
inspection services
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has received a contract from the
New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to provide construction
administration and inspection services for the Route 18 Traffic Signal
System project in East Brunswick and New Brunswick, New Jersey. The
Route 18 project consists of the installation of new Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment and upgrades to the existing
traffic signal system.
Jacobs’ construction administration and inspection services include the
installation of image and radar detectors, Controlled Traffic Signal
System (CTSS) cameras and fiber optic cable at 23 locations along the
Route 18 corridor. The project is scheduled for completion by November
2017.
Jacobs will oversee a traffic study to be conducted prior to the start
of any work to determine daily volumes at each traffic signal, average
corridor travel time and average intersection delay. The findings will
be compared with the information obtained when the system is integrated
and operational. Once the equipment is installed and integrated into the
NJDOT Statewide System, a verification and validation plan will be
executed and testing performed.
“Jacobs has worked alongside NJDOT on many projects over the past 60
years,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President Buildings and Infrastructure
Randy Pierce. “This experience, combined with our proven capability in
transport engineering services including ITS, positions us well to help
NJDOT meet the challenges and opportunities of this rapidly changing
technological landscape.”
