APWA Awards its Technical Innovation Award to Illinois Tollway
The Illinois Tollway’s Roadway Maintenance team received the American Public Works Association 2022 Technical Innovation Award in August for its TIMS2GO Mobile Incident Response Tool.
TIMS2GO was highlighted among this year’s APWA Award winners in the August issue of the APWA Reporter magazine.
The Technical Innovation Award recognizes the development, management and implementation of a creative idea, program, process or system that enhances the delivery of public works services to the public.
The Tollway achieved the highest score among all submissions for the Technical Innovation Award and TIMS2GO was the “clear winner,” according to APWA.
TIMS2GO is a unique mobile application that puts all the ITS resources of the Illinois Tollway’s Traffic Operations Center, including its Traffic and Incident Management System (TIMS), in the palms of the hands of traffic managers. It gives traffic managers the ability to gather real-time incident information and direct the appropriate resources to respond anytime from anywhere using any smartphone, tablet or laptop.
