In December 2024, the City awarded Econolite with the contract to deploy and integrate the Centracs® Mobility Platform for its centralized ATMS solution. Centracs Mobility will enable the management and operations of all ITS devices, traffic signals, and roadside infrastructure, including Econolite CobaltÒ controllers.

Advanced Traffic Management System Software

The advanced traffic management system software project helps transportation agencies manage signal networks more effectively. In many cities, outdated systems made it difficult to monitor signals and respond to changes. Therefore, agencies began deploying modern ATMS platforms to gain better visibility and control. As a result, traffic operations improved and response times decreased.

Because travel demand continues to change throughout the day, centralized traffic management software provides the tools needed to monitor and adjust timing. In addition, software analytics support better decision‑making for signal timing and planning.

ATMS software gives agencies real‑time visibility and performance tools to improve traffic signal operations across entire networks.

ATMS Software Overview

An advanced traffic management system (ATMS) provides a centralized platform for operators to monitor, manage, and control traffic signals. For example, engineers can view performance data, adjust timing, and respond to incidents from a single interface. Moreover, operators no longer need to visit field locations to diagnose problems.

In addition, modern ATMS software integrates with a city’s communications network and field devices. These connections give engineers access to real‑time data. Consequently, agencies can make better decisions about timing plans and performance improvements.

Software Deployment and Integration

Implementing ATMS software typically includes several key steps. First, signal controllers and field devices are connected to the central system. Next, communications links are tested to ensure data flows reliably. After that, ATMS dashboards and reporting tools are configured. Then, agencies train staff to use dashboards and manage performance. Finally, validation ensures data accuracy and system performance meets expectations.

Once deployed, operators can quickly view signal status, monitor performance trends, and make adjustments without delay. Therefore, the software supports both real‑time operations and long‑term planning.

Operational Benefits

Advanced traffic management system software delivers several operational benefits. First, centralized monitoring gives agencies a clear picture of system performance. In addition, engineers can respond faster to incidents without sending staff into the field. Furthermore, detailed performance data supports evidence‑based decisions for signal timing changes. As a result, signal coordination improves and congestion decreases. Moreover, agencies gain better tools for planning and reporting on performance over time.
