Lake County opened the Transportation
Management Center (TMC) in Libertyville in 2006. A
5000-square-foot addition to the Lake County Division of
Transportation’s administration building, the TMC
centralizes operation resources, network routing
equipment and information. The display wall in the TMC
provides visual information about the operation of the
road network. Trained traffic technicians can view
various video feeds, weather information, Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) output summaries, signal network
information and real-time network congestion reports to
determine appropriate responses to congestion, weather
delays, construction, equipment malfunctions and
crashes. The TMC provides continuous monitoring of
system status Monday through Friday from 6 am until 7
pm.
