BACKGROUND:
The 2024 City Budget includes funding for the City's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) - Phase A Project. This ATMS project is the first phase in modernizing the City's traffic signal systems. The existing traffic signal system is a closed-loop signal system that has exceeded its life expectancy and uses dated hardware, software, and communications technology. The existing system can no longer keep pace with traffic demands in the region and does not support modern traffic management solutions (equipment, software, and data analytics) to facilitate safe and efficient traffic movement. This new ATMS will combine new traffic signal controllers and central management software utilizing a new Ethernet-based communications network to allow the City, IDOT, and other stakeholders to remotely manage traffic signals and traffic flow in the region. The ATMS will replace existing closed loop systems (controllers, modems, and communication network) which have been installed throughout the City dating back to the 1980s. The existing communication cable and conduit installed as part of the closed loop systems will be used to the extent possible to provide an upgraded Ethernet communication backbone to support the ATMS. This matter will be reviewed at the July 15, 2024 Public Service Committee Meeting.
