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.”
