The one-year project is an agreement with the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADoT).

Traffic control cabinets come with computers and sensors which control traffic signal timing to help improve the safe movement of vehicles and people.

ATC standard cabinets feature a lamp-out detection functionality which sends a notification when signal lights fail. The system also triggers a flashing red light when an intersection's backup system needs repair.
