Centracs SPM Sample Clauses

Centracs SPM. Verifying and documenting effectiveness of signal timing can be a monumental and cost-prohibitive task, particularly with transportation agencies short of signal retiming resources. Moreover, traditional measuring tools for traffic studies fail to take advantage of the comprehensive data now being provided by modern traffic signal controllers. Signal performance measures, based on this data, allow for the creation of a new generation of sophisticated analytic tools that help engineers, planners, consultants, and other traffic stakeholders. As further explained in the following section, our Centracs Edaptive ATCS solution provides adaptive control capabilities based on system performance measures derived from Centracs SPM. While we recognize that the Town intends to procure an Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) system through a subsequent RFP, later in 2020, as a value-added proposition, we are proposing to include SPM features as part of our proposed ATCS solution for this project at no additional cost to the Town. Centracs SPM is a web-hosted solution that is integrated as an extension to the locally-hosted Centracs ATMS. For each of an agency’s ATCs, Centracs SPM enables agencies to fully utilize ITS assets, helping transportation stakeholders visually analyze and identify the performance of traffic signal timing plans, diagnose problems, and quickly produce a full spectrum of traffic studies and reports. Centracs SPM is a powerful, easy-to-use cloud-based solution that measures and assesses factors that impact traffic signal coordination. Centracs SPM provides state-of-the-art analysis tools, enabling transportation agencies, planning organizations, and other transportation stakeholders more efficient and effective use of resources in optimizing traffic signal timing, coordination, and operations. Centracs SPM provides powerful diagnostic dashboards, heat maps, and analytical tools that identify problem areas and enables users to understand what issues are affecting

Centracs SPM. Because Centracs SPM is cloud- based, transportation agencies, consultants, and MPOs do not need to purchase and manage local server hardware or data storage. The computing resources are maintained and updated by Econolite. The web user interface provides an intuitive and easy-to-use means to access Centracs SPM from any place, on any platform, at any time. Data collection is continuous and unobtrusive to the rest of the transportation and traffic signal operations. Centracs SPM is the next generation Econolite analytics, reporting, and data management platform. This platform is designed based on FHWA ATSPM approach and Purdue University’s defined performance measures using high resolution data to provide a platform for performance-based management for traffic signal operations and maintenance. Centracs SPM enables transportation agencies to make signal retiming strategy decisions based on high- resolution dynamic traffic performance data without the costs associated with manually collected low- resolution data and simulations. Centracs SPM provides continuous traffic data collection and analytics, enabling transportation professionals to proactively optimize signal timing, enhancing mobility and safety. In addition, Centracs SPM is an ideal fit for connected and autonomous vehicle and Smart Community applications. Centracs SPM provides the following features: • Optimization: Optimizes all signals within a corridor to reduce the number of traffic stops and delays based on the amount of time assigned to a phase (split), when the cycle starts (offset), or the length of the cycle to serve all phases (cycle length). The optimization process uses Purdue University’s Link Pivot and GOR/ROR (Green Occupancy Ratio/ Red Occupancy Ratio) to optimize arterial-level parameters, including lead-lag sequencing. • Web-Based User Interface: Provides an intuitive and powerful user experience while providing the best and the latest features to all users.
