RSSThe City of Norman, Oklahoma, is to deploy 1763 Econolite’s Centracs Adaptive as part of the City’s long-term Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) or ‘Moving Forward’ Plan in addressing its future transportation needs.
Centracs Adaptive will first be deployed along Highway 9, a major corridor that serves a mix of residential and commuter traffic, as well as traffic to and from the University of Oklahoma.
Highway 9 presents unique signal timing challenges. In addition to weekday commutes, the corridor experiences unpredictable traffic activity to and from the University. It can also experience severe traffic congestion during athletic events, particularly during football season.
Centracs Adaptive is integrated in Centracs ATMS, which the City installed in 2009 as part of its ongoing transportation and infrastructure enhancement programs. Centracs Adaptive will be deployed in conjunction with several Econolite AccuScan 1000 advance vehicle radar detection systems and a BlueToad travel time system for before and after analysis.
“Our goal is to implement transportation systems that are planned and designed around the unique needs of our community,” said City of Norman traffic engineer David Riesland. “This includes deploying leading-edge technologies that can enhance efficiencies for all modes of transportation. We believe adaptive signal control will be an ideal fit within our CTP.”
“This is an ideal application for an adaptive signal system,” said Econolite Group VP of Sales Mark Nogaki. “We’re very pleased that Centracs Adaptive was chosen to meet the needs of Norman’s ‘Moving Forward’ program. This adaptive signal application will significantly improve traffic mobility over pre-programmed timing plans, especially during unexpected traffic conditions.”
