Cloud-Based ATMS Platform – City of Bloomington, IN
The City of Bloomington, IN is a forward-thinking, university-centered community with more than 80,000 residents. The City prioritizes multimodal transportation, active mobility, and smart urban planning. Bloomington maintains nearly 50 miles of trails, with additional expansion planned, and continues to invest in pedestrian safety and connected infrastructure.
To support long-term growth, the City has advanced transportation initiatives through its Transportation Improvement Program and 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. These efforts emphasize safety, system performance, and data-driven mobility strategies. As a result, Bloomington required a scalable and secure cloud based ATMS platform to manage traffic operations more effectively.
Project Snapshot
| Agency | City of Bloomington, IN |
| Project Type | Cloud-Based ATMS Platform Deployment |
| Scope | Deployment of Centracs® Mobility ATMS, integration with PTV Flows, system-wide signal optimization |
| Key Technologies | Centracs® Mobility, Edaptive, Signal Performance Measures (SPM), Pattern Optimizer, PTV Flows |
Key Project Outcomes
- Centralized control of approximately 90 signalized intersections
- Real-time traffic monitoring with remote system access
- Improved signal timing through adaptive and pattern-based optimization
- Integration with AI-driven traffic analytics via PTV Flows
- Enhanced system scalability and cybersecurity compliance
The cloud-based ATMS platform enables Bloomington to manage traffic dynamically while improving system visibility and long-term mobility planning.
Project Overview
In 2026, Bloomington selected Econolite’s Centracs® Mobility as its cloud based ATMS platform. The system is deployed within a secure, SOC 2–compliant environment, ensuring reliable operations and strong cybersecurity protections.
Bloomington’s transportation network experiences frequent traffic fluctuations due to commuter patterns and Indiana University events. Therefore, the City required a system that supports real-time adjustments, remote access, and advanced analytics.
This deployment aligns with other regional efforts such as Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) systems, which enhance coordination across transportation networks.
Deployment and Installation
Econolite partnered with Traffic Control Corporation (TCC) to deploy the system across Bloomington’s signalized intersections. In addition, American Structurepoint provides engineering support and system training.
The deployment includes integration with advanced traffic management software, enabling centralized monitoring and control. Because of this, operators can access real-time and historical data from any location.
Similar large-scale deployments, such as traffic signal maintenance programs, demonstrate the importance of scalable and reliable traffic systems.
