Centracs MMS, 1763 Econolite’s new automated field asset and management system for the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) industry, is a simple-to-use Geographic Information System (GIS)-based proactive ITS asset management and maintenance management tool.

It enables Departments of Transport, Metropolitan Planning Organisations and signal maintenance organisations to track assets in real-time and through the entire life cycle.  Offering both workstation and mobile device interfaces, it supports preventative maintenance planning and execution along with trouble ticket dispatch and work-order scheduling.  Centracs MMS is available as an optional module to Centracs, or as a stand-alone product.

With more than a decade of experience in contract ITS maintenance and management services, Econolite developed Centracs MMS from a proven and working software toolset. “A centralised system that can proactively manage the maintenance and field assets can help traffic departments and MPOs save time and money, while enhancing productivity,” said Aegis ITS senior vice president Rodney Mathis. “Centracs MMS is designed to manage the ITS infrastructure to ensure the real time network monitoring, preventative maintenance, automated updates/warning and reporting capabilities that other, more complex inventory control-only systems just can’t provide.”

    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

    As the technologies and stakeholders in traffic management evolve, what can we expect to see happening in the coming years? For many, the conversation of the moment is just how, and how far, the newer technologies and services provided principally by the private sector should be allowed to intrude into the realms of traffic management.
  • Adopting universal technology platforms for tolling

    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p
