The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) recently became the first in the world to actively manage and control more than 10,000 signalized intersections from a single traffic management center and one integrated system.

“To effectively manage the transportation demands of the largest city in the United States, we started with a vision that literally began in the 1980s. Today, that vision is coming to fruition,” said Mohamad Talas, deputy director of system Eengineering at NYCDOT. “After understanding the requirements, TransCore designed and installed an innovative system to fulfill our objectives.”

In 2006, the city engaged TransCore as its system manager to design and install a central traffic control system that included modernization of intersection control equipment, implementation of a central traffic control system and support of the city’s wireless communications network – the largest of its kind supporting traffic control.

Encompassing all five boroughs, the city’s $120 million custom intelligent traffic system manages recurring traffic congestion, incidents, special events, emergency responses and areas particularly susceptible to gridlock. Use of adaptive traffic control algorithms have already reduced travel times by 10 percent on key corridors.
