Computers, software, traffic control / monitoring devices and communications

equipment can be integrated over local and area-wide networks to create a

centrally controlled seamless ITS architecture.

GCA designs and integrates systems that provide real-time information on the traffic, roadway conditions and incidences. This information is used to advise motorists, mitigate traffic impact and expedite a response across multiple jurisdictions and agencies when events occur. As the System Manager, GCA oversees the complex integration of these sophisticated and varied devices to ensure the most effective management of traffic and the infrastructure. Elements of the system may include:

• Intersection controllers and signs for regulating traffic

• Inductive loops and microwave or video detectors for traffic measurement

• Data collection and video monitoring for incident management

• Dynamic message signs for alerting motorists

• Fiber, twisted-pair copper, coaxial or wireless media for communication
