Trafficware will bring to the ITS America Annual Meeting Detroit a major new innovation for traffic engineers and planners. The company has taken a much-anticipated integration step in releasing new versions of its industry- leading ATMS and Synchro Suite Signal Timing and Simulation software.  Synchro Suite is used in more than 90 countries and when combined with the ATMS central transportation management system, deployed in more than 250 agencies around the world, makes life significantly easier for traffic engineers and planners by bridging the gap between the two platforms.

The new software releases incorporate a wizard style interface, allowing agencies using ATMS to share controller database information with Synchro users and for Synchro users to send revised signal timing plans to ATMS. The operator is in complete control of the flow of information - the ATMS user views changes recommended by Synchro, controlling the decision of applying the recommended changes. For traffic engineers, this functionality speeds their ability to manage roadways as they work among two platforms simultaneously.

Trafficware Product Development Director Jeff Cornelius said, “Transportation authorities invest in Synchro and ATMS because they want the latest technology and trust Trafficware to deliver a steady cadence of updates.  Simply, they want confidence their technology will grow with the future of Smart Cities.”

Trafficware will be providing demonstrations of the new ATMS version 2.8 and its many enhancements and features on its booth at the event.

Booth: 310

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe
