Schneider Electric has been providing transportation management centre operations services to the JTMC for the past ten years. Located in Long Island City in Queens County, the JTMC is responsible for transportation operations and management of the five boroughs of New York City. It serves as the primary operational contact point for internal and external operational stakeholders for all incidents and events which impact the transportation system across all modes of travel in New York City.
The existing transportation system covers about 120 centre-line miles of the state highway system with over 400 closed circuit television cameras, 88 overhead variable message signs, six highway advisory radio systems, and over 600 roadway traffic detectors that feed congestion monitoring and travel time information systems. Schneider Electric will continue to staff the JTMC with qualified professionals skilled and knowledgeable in the operation of advanced traffic management systems (ATMS).
Alfredo Escriba, senior vice president North America Transportation Segment at Schneider Electric stated, “We are indeed privileged to be given the opportunity to be of service to NYSDOT. To continue to maintain the position as the world leader in the financial sector, NY State and local municipalities have invested heavily in the improvements of its transportation infrastructure to ensure seamless travel in one of the busiest metropolitan cities in the world.”
