ATMS software allows for efficient point and click control of the signal system. Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS)The Advanced Traffic Management System is the traffic signal control system designed by Traffic Operations in 2000. Utilizing wireless communication and over 33 miles of fiber optic technology, the ATMS connects over 175 traffic signals and 50 pedestrian signals throughout Fort Collins, allowing traffic engineers to effectively manage and analyze real-time traffic conditions. The culmination of a five year project, the Advanced Traffic Management System improves the efficiency of the Fort Collins traffic signal system. By installing state-of-the-art controllers, cabinets and communication technologies, Traffic Operations created a more reliable and effective way to manage and analyze traffic conditions. The system is less vulnerable to communication failures and more responsive to actual traffic conditions. The ATMS software integrates the operation, communications, and data analysis of the traffic signals through a graphical "point and click" format for quick and efficient control of the system. The system can also adapt to changes in technology, providing increased functionality over time. Timeline for the 4 year project that made the ATMS a reality.
