15 Jun TransCore and Industry Leading Team Members Honored by ITS-New York for the 2012 Most Outstanding ITS Project of the Year
HARRISBURG, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–During the Intelligent Transportation Society of New York’s annual meeting, the New York City Department of Transportation and team participants TransCore, KLD, Peek Traffic, and Econolite/ CBH Inc. and the Federal Highway Administration were awarded top honors for the Most Outstanding ITS Project of the year for “Midtown in Motion,” the most advanced adaptive traffic management system in North America.
TransCore’s role was to design New York City’s next generation traffic control system that would encompass 12,400 traffic signals located throughout the five boroughs. TransCore’s work included implementation of its TransSuite® traffic management software and the integration of TransCore’s Encompass® radio frequency identification (RFID) readers to read local toll tags, KLD’s adaptive control module, Peek Traffic controllers, microwave sensors furnished by Econolite/CBH, and other related equipment using the New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN).
New York City’s deployment of the Midtown in Motion system serves as a model for other metropolitans deploying intelligent transportation systems to mitigate choke points and reduce congestion and vehicle carbon emissions.
