To address congestion in Arcadia, California, the City started a project to implement adaptive signal operations. KLD’s adaptive control system, ACDSS, was integrated with the TransSuite software and new 772 McCain controllers and firmware deployed at 33 intersections.

The adaptive system went live in February in multiple locations and is addressing traffic pattern variations and minimizing delays. To learn more, attend ITSA’s Technical Session on Signal System Operations and Control Technologies. TransCore’s Chuck Dankocsik will present his paper: “Signal Operational Strategies Address the City of Arcadia’s Transportation Challenges.”
