Line 10: ---- ==COMPASS System== Incident Detection algorithms have also been widely used throughout the '''COMPASS'''-enabled area of Southern Ontario, Canada. [http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/compass/ COMPASS] is the [[Freeway Traffic Management System]] (FTMS) run by the [http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/ Ontario Ministry of Transportation]. Detectors are typically located as double-loop detectors embedded in the pavement every 500m along the province's major expressways. COMPASS-enabled highways include [[Highway 401 (Ontario)\|Highway 401]] (one of the highest-volume highways in the world), as well as the [[Queen Elizabeth Way]] (or QEW), and [[Highway 417 (Ontario)\|Highway 417]] (the Queensway) in Ottawa. The primary algorithm used by the Ministry is known as the '''McMaster''' algorithm, designed by Professor Fred Hall of [[McMaster University]], in Hamilton, Ontario.
