1763 Econolite has claimed a major industry milestone with a contract for its 75th Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) from the city of Longmont, Colorado, which will be deployed as part of the city’s ITS upgrade project.

Longmont says Centracs was chosen for its powerful ITS capabilities to help the city increase efficiencies throughout its planned traffic upgrade project, as well as Econolite’s customer service. “Communications is critical to any successful ITS project, and Centracs enables us to leverage an existing WiFi mesh communications system,” said city of Longmont traffic engineer, Robert Ball.

Centracs provides an integrated platform for transportation management, adaptive signal control, ITS field device monitoring, information management, graphical data display, interactive map capability, advanced traffic algorithms, and much more. Introduced in November 2008, Centracs has been deployed by transportation agencies worldwide.

“The rapid acceptance of Centracs is evidence of the software’s ease of use and powerful architecture,” says Jeff Spinazze, Econolite senior VP of sales and product management. “Reaching this milestone within three years of introduction is a testament to Centracs’ ability to provide increased levels of ITS capabilities while controlling costs for our customers.”
