San Mateo County Smart Corridors Program-Systems Engineering Process
This paper reviews the process followed in applying the systems engineering process to the San Mateo County Smart Corridors Program. This Program was undertaken in response to a major incident on Highway 101 which resulted in the closure of that freeway for over 24 hours. As a result, traffic diverted to the local roadways which were not able to handle the increased demand. The Smart Corridor Program is intended to address this situation when it occurs again (which is estimated to be approximately 2 to 3% of the time). Trailblazers, coordinated signals, arterial message signs and cameras will be used.
