Siemens Mobility has been awarded a USD 150 million contract by Miami-Dade County, Florida to provide an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), which will upgrade 2,900 intersections and traffic corridors with intelligent hardware and software technology, the company said.

All intersection technology will be connected to an integrated traffic management platform that will perform intelligent analytics, implement strategic measures and optimize travel times across the County.

This system will dynamically change traffic patterns in real-time at traffic lights linking a network of roadway corridors to provide for the better movement of traffic based on actual traffic demand. Data will be collected in real-time from a wide array of new sources at intersections and roadway zones/corridors, which will then optimize the signal timings at each intersection in a network. This will create an integrated system designed to quickly and efficiently counteract impending critical situations, as well as unpredictable traffic overloads and congestion.

Siemens Mobility will be deploying its world renowned ATMS and adaptive traffic control technology. Siemens' Sitraffic Concert platform supervises and coordinates the functionality of the ATMS system and it will work directly with the adaptive traffic control system called SCOOT (Split Cycle and Offset Optimization Technique), a dynamic, on-line, real-time method of signal control that continuously measures traffic demand on all approaches to intersections.

The fusion of data between the systems will enable a more robust traffic control...
