139 Transcore ITS  is to supply the State of California Department of Transportation (3879 Caltrans) with its TransSuite traffic control system for management and centralised monitoring of existing traffic signals statewide.

The TransSuite system will support Caltrans’ strategy to proactively manage traffic through the monitoring of traffic signals and traffic conditions at state-operated intersections. TransCore ITS will develop an interface to the Caltrans controller firmware to support once-per-second communication plus complete database upload/download for the local controllers. TransSuite software will be installed at Caltrans’ headquarters and its twelve districts. Additional intersections will be brought online over time and will be integrated into the TransSuite system using serial and/or IP-based communications.

According to TransCore, TransSuite provides a robust, low-risk, highly flexible controller/firmware/central software solution as well as a means to expand to other ITS devices in the future such as CCTV and dynamic message signs.
