4984 Kapsch TrafficCom North America has been awarded a four-year contract to design and install an agency-wide transportation management software (ATMS) for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ).

The new system will utilise Kapsch’s DYNAC software, enabling the Authority to manage ITS assets at its bridges, tunnels, aviation and port facilities, as well as the PATH rail transit system from any of its individual facility operations control centres (OCC) and the Authority’s Agency Operation Centre (PA-AOC). It will also communicate with 511 database and the traffic and incident data systems used by the Authority to convey real-time traveller information to regional transportation agencies and the travelling public and enable rapid, consistent and appropriate response to traffic incidents and tunnel life safety events.

Kapsch will merge 21 independent traffic and facility management data systems into a single enterprise DYNAC-based ATMS that will manage the Authority’s vital Gateways to the Nation transportation assets including the George Washington, Bayonne and Goethals Bridges and the Outerbridge Crossing, Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, LaGuardia, JFK International and Newark Liberty International Airports and the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal.

New software at the Ferry Transportation Unit, Port Authority Bus Terminal, GWB Bus Station, Teterboro and Stewart International Airports and PATH will inform all Authority facilities on the status of the regional transportation network.
