Johns Creek, GA, identified as the 100th adopter of this powerful and expandable ITS solution
Anaheim, Calif. -Econolite today announced that in just three short years, it reached a major industry milestone with an order for the 100th Centracs® Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS). To be installed in the City of Johns Creek, Georgia, the Centracs software system will be deployed as part of Johns Creek's Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan that provides the vision and strategy for the future development of the City's traffic operations.
According to the City, Centracs was chosen for its expandability and powerful ITS capabilities that fit well with Johns Creek's ITS Master Plan. "The main objective of this plan is to establish a system for monitoring and managing traffic through control and communication devices that are efficient, sustainable, and expandable," said Johns Creek Director of Public Works Tom Black. "Moreover, this centralized system enables Johns Creek to immediately meet national and regional ITS architecture standards, helping to reduce traffic congestion, travel and incident response times, while increasing safety well into the future." CH2M Hill, global full-service consulting, design, construction, and operations firm will manage the new ATMS.
Centracs, first deployed in 2009, has quickly become the ATMS of choice for many ITS programs. "Centracs' robust yet scalable architecture is a significant reason for its fast acceptance among transportation agencies of all sizes," said Econolite Senior Vice President of Sales, Jeff Spinazze. "Centracs is designed to seamlessly expand ITS capabilities to complement agencies evolving transportation plans and budgets."
Currently, about 17,000 signalized intersections are licensed through Centracs. The system provides an integrated platform for traffic signal control, ITS field device monitoring and control, information management, graphical data display, advanced traffic algorithms, and much more.
