3. Highway Advisory Radio System Bob Jordan 15 minThe purpose of this presentation is to describe MdTA's Highway Advisory Radio System (HAR) to theMembers. HAR systems have been utilized at the Authority primarily to broadcast traffic related messages toMotorists. Our current system is similar to the Statewide System and SHA's system.A new HAR system is proposed for the Kennedy Highway; updating the 2 HAR systems at the Bay Bridge to breplaced with one new coordinated system. HAR systems for the ICC and 1-95 ETL projects are budgeted andplanned for construction and in the future may provide toll information for the 1-95 ETL and ICC.Engineering has identified a solution consisting of a synchronized HAR (new technology) at the Bay Bridge tohelp multiple sites that overlap in coverage, synchronize with GPS and digital systems. This will require theupgrade of existing sites and a third site. MdTA will maintain and operate all three sites. The CHART upgradehas also been completed. These HAR systems are included in contract MA-937-000-006 which will be presentto Members today for approval.Members Woodford, Rieg andAffleck-Bauer thanked the stafffor this updated information and will reviewthe contract later in the agenda.
