Advanced Traffic Management Systems

US 19 Advance Traffic Management System for Pasco County (405165-1)
Project is the most southerly of three construction projects to be built on the full length of US 19 in Pasco County to install an Advance Traffic Management System (ATMS). It runs from the Pinellas/Pasco county line to Main

 

Street. The adaptive signal system SCATS will be installed to sense traffic flowing through each approach to an intersection so that the signal timing at that intersection may be adapted to the traffic flows not only at that intersection, but also to other intersections in the corridor to optimize traffic flow. The components of the project include 2070N signal controllers, additional vehicle detectors, video monitoring, dynamic message signs, fiber optic trunk line, and a new Pasco County Traffic Management Center (TMC). Plans are completed and the project will be advertised for construction in summer 2002. Procurement of equipment by System Manager will start in spring 2002.
Approx. Completion: November 2003

Pinellas Countywide ATMS/Clearwater SR 60 ATMS (406255-1 / 408419-1)
Pinellas Countywide ATMS deals with the development of an integrated Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) focusing on four corridors identified by the MPO. One of the four corridors is SR 60 (Gulf to Bay Blvd.) for which the planning was completed under the Clearwater SR 60 ATMS Feasibility Study. The other three corridors for development are the full length of US 19 in Pinellas County, McMullen Booth Road (CR 611), and Ulmerton Road (SR 688). The major ITS components to be deployed are an adaptive signal system using Advance Traffic Controllers (ATC), video cameras at intersections, dynamic message signs, and installation of fiber optic backbone. In addition to the corridor type work, the project will work toward integrated operation of the three separate jurisdictional Traffic Control Centers in the county, i.e. City of Clearwater, City of St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County. Currently a feasibility study is nearing completion for the three corridors and then construction plans will be developed for all four corridors. A single design project promotes the targeted systems integration, as well as accounting for local needs such as emergency services, incident management, parking management, and support of beach traffic flows. The adaptive signal system to be implemented on the four corridors may use
