The State of 923 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has selected 139 Transcore ITS to provide its TransSuite traffic control system for managing and centralised monitoring of existing traffic signals statewide.

The TransSuite system will be the cornerstone of Caltrans’ strategy to proactively manage traffic through the monitoring of traffic signals and traffic conditions at state-operated intersections. As part of the project, 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 12 districts. Additional intersections will be brought online over time. Intersections will be integrated into the TransSuite system using serial and/or IP-based communications.

According to TransCore, TransSuite will provide Caltrans with 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.
