The Intelligent Transportation Society (ITS) of Georgia held its annual awards banquet on Wednesday, November 13 at Maggiano’s Cumberland Mall in Atlanta.
This year, Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners was awarded the 2024 Outside the Construction Box Award for setting up ghost intersections on Peachtree Parkway (State Road 141). These ghost intersections parallel GDOT facilities and use advanced monitoring, detection, data capture and movement ID allowing them to simulate and test how emerging ITS technologies will work in live scenarios.
The City of Peachtree Corners previously won this award in 2019 with the opening of Curiosity Lab.
