RANCHO CORDOVA & SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA – ITS Integration
Econolite Systems partnered with the City of Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County, California to deploy a comprehensive Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) integration. This project included traffic signal system enhancements, advanced communications infrastructure, and field device upgrades to support real-time monitoring and optimized signal timing.
Project Overview
Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County required a modern traffic control system to improve signal operations and support future mobility goals. Econolite implemented the Centracs Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) as the backbone for signal timing, remote monitoring, and incident response. Field hardware upgrades and a secure communications network completed the integration.
Key System Features
The ITS integration includes the following components:
- Centracs ATMS platform for centralized signal timing control
- Real-time traffic monitoring via integrated CCTV cameras
- Communications network linking field controllers and signals
- Adaptive signal timing improvements at key intersections
- Performance monitoring dashboards for operators
These features provide traffic engineers with detailed visibility into system performance and help support more responsive traffic operations across Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County.
Operational Benefits
- Improved signal coordination and reduced delays
- Enhanced incident response and system monitoring
- Better support for commuter and event traffic management
- More efficient use of transportation infrastructure
As a result, this integration enhances travel reliability, reduces congestion, and helps support future traffic system growth in the region.
