Trafficware Launches Connected Vehicle Application in ATMS.now Central Traffic Management


After successfully delivering Connected Vehicle applications in Palo Alto and other San Francisco Bay area cities, Trafficware launches its subscription Connected Vehicle Module as part of the ATMS.now Version 2.5 software release.

The module allows transportation agencies to selectively publish traffic intersection data to any 3rd party for the growing number of Connected Vehicle applications like "Talking Intersections", which provide valuable intersection data to the driver, improving safety, reducing emissions, and more.

Data provided by Trafficware's signal controllers, sensors, and central management software, ATMS.now, are used to predict and time-calibrate the state of the traffic signal, so auto manufacturers can incorporate it into their telematics and in-vehicle information systems. A growing number of communities are exploring these applications since early results were favorable and auto manufacturers are launching Connected Vehicle systems in 2017 and later model cars.

Trafficware CEO Jon Newhard explains, "Trafficware's continual R&D investment to design the most technologically current central traffic management system exemplifies our commitment to market-leading products. In fact, more than 25 new features and updates ere made in Version 2.5, drawing from the Company's recent Customer Council and survey input as well as working with our Palo Alto (News - Alert) customer on what would become a Finalist for the Best in ITS Award."



Hundreds of transportation authorities rely on Trafficware's ATMS.now system to support their communities' complex transportation networks, cities like Houston, Las Vegas, Orlando, New Orleans, Palo Alto in Silicon Valley, and even internationally in Cairo, Egypt. Trafficware has more than 250 major installations with equipment deployed at more than 9,000 intersections globally. These customers count on Trafficware to keep them up-to-date on technical advancements and especially leverage their current investments.

Some of the new capabilities available in the latest ATMS.now 2.5 release include:


  • A new CSV Export Report to allow CSV files to be created by the user for volumes or Splits.
    This file can be readily opened in Excel for customized agency use.
  • A Day Plan Report under the Database Utilities section. This utility allows the user to select multiple controllers and view their day plans side-by-side to assure that intersections are lining up with coordination schedules.
  • A Connected Vehicle Module Interface, including Publisher, Provider and Subscriber modules*
  • Purdue Split Monitor reports, featuring the Purdue Split Monitor Diagram.*
  • An Enhanced Purdue Coordination Diagram Report, creating reports for all phases and adding a Metrics Table. In addition, a single diagram and per phase Report mode was added.*

* For those customers that have subscribed to these modules.

For ATMS.now customers that subscribe to Trafficware's Software Maintenance Agreement, they will receive all features included in the base application free as part of the program.
