THE RAIL SPUR COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT WILL ELIMINATE LENGTHY SWITCHING DELAYS IN NS RAIL YARD THAT IS CAUSED BY THREE-POINT TURNS.  DUE TO THE LACK OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE SCHEDULE AND LENGTH OF TRAIN BLOCKAGES AT CROSSINGS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, THE INSTALLATION OF DMS COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT WILL BE LOCATED AT POINTS OF ENTRY INTO DOWNTOWN. THE DMS WILL INFORM DRIVERS OF BLOCKED CROSSINGS PROVIDING THEM WITH INFORMATION NECESSARY TO CHOOSE OPTIMAL ROUTES AND IMPROVE TRAVEL TIME. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE THE FLUIDITY AND EFFICIENCY OF VEHICULAR AND RAIL TRANSPORTATION IN DOWNTOWN HATTIESBURG.THE PROJECT S OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS INCLUDE:  REDUCTION IN FREQUENCY AND LENGTH OF THE MOST SEVERE TRAIN DELAYS, CONTRIBUTING TO TIME SAVINGS, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY BENEFITS.  CREATION OF A NEW ROUTE FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THATS UNAFFECTED BY TRAIN DELAYS, REDUCING IDLE AND REROUTING TIME, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL TIME SAVINGS, RELIABILITY, SAFETY, AND EMISSIONS SAVINGS.  INCREASE IN OVERALL RELIABILITY OF TRAVEL TIME FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, DECREASES IN VEHICLES MILES TRAVELED FROM LATE REROUTES, AND INCREASES IN ADOPTION RATE OF NEW ROUTES FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
