About TRIMARCPurposeThe purpose of TRIMARC is to improve the performance of the existing Freeway system in the Metropolitan Louisville and Southern Indiana area. This is accomplished by implementing services and systems that facilitate the efficient flow of traffic. A key to this concept is the dissemination of information to the public as well as the officials who are responsible for managing and maintaining the transportation infrastructure. Through the use of roadway sensors, video monitoring, variable message signs, and highway advisory radio, drivers are quickly alerted with these advanced warning systems. Northrop Grumman software analyzes the sensor data and pinpoints potential problems to the operators who use the cameras for verification. These warning systems help travelers avoid delays, plan alternate routes and enhance their travel experience. By increasing the availability of information on the real-time status of traffic, TRIMARC is realizing improvements in the response time to incidents, preventing the occurrence of secondary incidents and improving air quality through the reduction of traffic congestion. HistoryTRIMARC is funded by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Federal Highway Administration. Northrop Grumman has been the contractor responsible for developing the design, installing the systems and software, and operating and maintaining the equipment since project inception. Key contractor team members include Wilbur Smith Associates, Bluegrass Electric, Global Solutions LLC and TEC Engineering. This process began in 1998 and is continuing to move forward with expanding coverage to outlying highways in the Metropolitan Louisville and Southern Indiana area as funding becomes available.
