360-degree view

Livermore is part of San Francisco Bay Area’s Tri-Valley, which also includes the cities of Dublin, Pleasanton and San Ramon. The Cubic system will bring traffic network data into a single repository to provide the city with a real-time, 360-degree view of transportation operations.

From the latest connected vehicle technologies, web-based tools like signal performance measures, to the system dashboard that provides business intelligence, Trafficware’s ATMS aims to help smart cities address the challenges of transportation management.

“We are very proud to be able to enhance the travel experience and quality of life for citizens in the cities we serve through the deployment of our advanced traffic technologies,” said Jeff Spinazze, vice president of business development for Trafficware, Cubic Transportation Systems.

It includes: SynchroGreen adaptive signal control; transit signal priority (TSP) for buses; and Internet of Things (IoT) edge technologies to measure and improve the overall flow of traffic. It is designed to scale as an agency expands its specific needs.
