1763 Econolite has announced that 5899 ITS New York, at its annual conference, awarded the Outstanding ITS Project of the Year to Econolite and its partner, Century Business Horizons (CBH), along with 5900 NYC DoT, 4045 KLD Associates, and 139 Transcore. Econolite and CBH were honoured for the remote traffic microwave sensor (RTMS) non-intrusive radar detection systems used in the Midtown in Motion project.

Midtown in Motion is a technology-based traffic congestion relief project, addressing 110-square blocks from in Midtown Manhattan. The programme includes a suite of new traffic monitoring equipment, including 100 RTMS detection systems from Econolite, that are leveraged to monitor and measure traffic volumes, occupancy and speed at various mid-block locations. “The new system enables traffic engineers to identify traffic incidents and congestion in real-time, and then make immediate signal timing adjustments from the traffic management center,” said CBH president Al Shapiro.

“We are honoured to receive this important award from ITS-NY,” said Econolite VP of RTMS sales Mike Ouellette. “The recognition of RTMS in such a progressive project is further validation of the advanced capabilities of above ground detection.”
