101 Peek Traffic’s ATC-1000 ATC, NTCIP and NEMA TS2-2003 standard compliant traffic controller has been approved by the 375 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

The ATC-1000 features Peek’s latest ATC engine board, a full line of communication options including multiple serial and Ethernet ports, a USB firmware and memory port and interchangeable I/O and D modules. It also features multiple layers of TSP functionality, which the company says makes it the most advanced traffic controller today. The ATC-1000 runs with Greenwave, Peek’s Linux based software package for its ATC line of advanced traffic controllers and is compatible with Peek’s central traffic management system.

“I am very excited about the opportunities that the approval brings to us at Peek,” said Don Maas, Peek Traffic’s senior project engineer. “After very extensive lab testing with the TxDOT personnel, we are confident that the controller will have a big impact on traffic operations across the state.”
