ENGINEERING AND POLICE COOPERATION IN DESIGN AND OPERATION OF THE NEWARK AIRPORT INTERCHANGE TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM

The New Jersey Department of Transportation is developing a traffic surveillance and control system which will afford the Newark Airport Interchange area a high level of traffic management. The system will be composed of several related subsystems which will interact to detect, verify and respond to highway incidents. These subsystems are: traffic incident detection, closed circuit television, motorist aid call boxes, emergency vehicle monitoring, emergency vehicle routing, motorist alternate routing, and electronic master controller. The surveillance and control system is designed as a man-machine complex with careful consideration of the interaction of police responsibilities, which require the direct application of human judgment and police experience to the situations encountered, and computer capabilities for surveillance, verification and response during these emergencies.
