5642 Trafficware’s latest version of its advanced traffic management system, ATMS.now 2.2, will support both of the widely popular 1691 Google Maps and 2214 Microsoft Bing Maps web-based mapping systems, says the company.  

As Trafficware’s product development is driven by customer feedback, ATMS.now 2.2 provides more flexibility and convenience selecting mapping capabilities from an array of resources versus being limited to a single source.  The latest release also includes enhanced analysis tools, the expanded measures of effectiveness (MOE) package that includes updated Purdue Coordination Diagrams, as well as ‘one-step’ installation for both client and server applications, expediting system implementation for traffic engineers and IT professionals.  

With the integration of Google Maps, ATMS.now supports Google Maps, Bing Maps and 50 ESRI (GIS) mapping utilities.  ATMS.now customers that use Google Maps or Bing Maps also now have the ability to convert GIS congestion segments and display pattern, cycle, sequence, offset and other pertinent real time signal timing data on the web-based maps.  The additional functionality, along with other enhancements, is available to all ATMS.now users under Trafficware’s maintenance and support program.

“A strong central management system is at the core of any traffic signal system,” explains Chief Technology Officer Darren Beyer. “That’s why we continue to invest heavily in innovative product development that positions ATMS.now as the most desirable central management system for traffic control.”

    Climate change will pose global and local challenges and that includes risks to the transportation infrastructure. Climate change adaptation and resiliency has captured the attention of the transportation community for some time now. Because transportation infrastructure is often designed to last for 30, 50, or 100 years or even longer, transportation professionals are concerned not only about the impact on our existing investments, but also how to design more durable transportation systems for the future

    Reducing congestion with Tomtom's historical traffic data
    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe
