After a competitive bid, the City of Fremont, California, has selected 5642 Trafficware’s central traffic management ATMS.now technology and will also add SynchroGreen adaptive signal technology on a 2.2-mile stretch of Fremont Boulevard.

The Fremont Boulevard corridor is a major arterial in the city that experiences drastic and highly directional traffic during morning and evening peak periods and more balanced traffic operations during the off peak periods, but also has swings in traffic volume due to nearby schools. Adding smart signal technology that responds to real-time conditions through this corridor will help to ease congestion and manage queues caused by traffic volume fluctuations.

The new technology is scheduled to be deployed by late first quarter 2017.

    Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) has implemented traffic signal priority systems (TSP) at 32 intersections in the Bulgarian city of Burgas, as part of the Burgas Integrated Urban Transport Project. The Opticom TSP system allows public transportation vehicles to be given priority signals at traffic intersections. The technology is also fitted to 77 public transport buses in the city, which ensures that when any of them approaches one of the 32 equipped intersections, the system sends a request from the
