1763 Econolite has announced that in just three years, it has reached a major industry milestone with an order for the 100th Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS). To be installed in Georgia, the software system will be deployed as part of the city of Johns Creek’s ITS master plan that provides the vision and strategy for the future development of the city’s traffic operations.

According to the city, Centracs was chosen for its expandability and powerful ITS capabilities that fit well with the master plan. “The main objective of this plan is to establish a system for monitoring and managing traffic through control and communication devices that are efficient, sustainable, and expandable,” said Tom Black,  Johns Creek director of public works. “Moreover, this centralised system enables Johns Creek to immediately meet national and regional ITS architecture standards, helping to reduce traffic congestion, travel and incident response times, while increasing safety well into the future.” 4843 CH2M Hill global full-service consulting, design, construction, and operations firm will manage the new ATMS.

“Centracs’ robust yet scalable architecture is a significant reason for its fast acceptance among transportation agencies of all sizes,” said Econolite senior VP of sales, Jeff Spinazze. “Centracs is designed to seamlessly expand ITS capabilities to complement agencies evolving transportation plans and budgets.”

First deployed in 2009, currently about 17,000 signalised intersections are licensed through Centracs. The system provides an integrated platform for traffic signal control, ITS field device monitoring and control, information management, graphical data display, advanced traffic algorithms, and much more.
