1763 Econolite has launched Centracs Signal Performance Measures (SPM), a cloud-based high-resolution traffic data collection and analytics software solution designed to improve traffic signal optimisation and continuous monitoring. It has been developed in support of the fourth round of the Every Day Counts (EDC-4) program of the US 831 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that encourages implementation of automated traffic signal performance measures as a means to optimise traffic signal coordination and programming.


The 324 US Department of Transportation recommends re-timing of traffic signals every three to seven years.  Centracs SPM enables transportation agencies to make signal re-timing strategy decisions based on high-resolution dynamic traffic performance data without the costs associated with manually-collected low-resolution data and simulations

It provides continuous traffic data collection and analytics, enabling transportation professionals to proactively optimise signal timing, enhancing mobility and safety. In addition, Centracs SPM is suitable for deployment in connected and autonomous vehicles and Smart City applications.

    April 20, 2015
    According to researchers at the University of Minnesota, most traffic signals in the US are only retimed every two to five years (or longer), largely due to the expense associated with retiming efforts. However, over the past several years, University of Minnesota researchers have developed and refined its SMART Signal system to make it easier and less expensive to retime signals. The system, developed with funding from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), not only collects traffic and si
