729 Schneider Electric has been awarded the contract to continue providing transportation management centre operations services for the Joint Transportation Management Center (JTMC) in New York City for the 1780 New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).

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.”

And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
