Smart Tracs Transportation System
Smart Tracs incorporates concepts to enhance the County’s Advanced Transportation Management System/Intelligent Transportation System (ATMS/ITS) and regional Smart City enterprise. This integration of information and communication technology with various connected smart devices improves safety and enhances mobility for motorists, transit, pedestrians and bicyclists. Bluetooth sensors, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras and mobile platforms transmit real-time data to the County’s Traffic Management Center where it is used to monitor the transportation system, optimize signal patterns and control traffic flow.
Smart Tracs syncs data derived from traffic signal control devices and motorists to:
- Improve traffic flow by decreasing travel time and reducing time spent at red lights.
- Keep citizens up-to-date on current travel conditions and delays or alternative routes.
- Maintain safe and efficient movement of motorists, transit, bicyclists and pedestrians.
- Integrate signal preemption for emergency vehicles and provide accident location information.
