Advanced Traffic Control, Inc. Completes Midtown Tunnel Project

Coconut Creek, FL - June 1, 2007 - Advanced Traffic Control, Inc. has successfully completed the system integration of the Midtown Tunnel Traffic Management System, which provides the traffic management for the Pinner's Point Interchange project.

This project was originally scheduled to complete in December of 2003, but due to delays by the Pinner's Point contractor, final availability of the traffic control devices was not provided to ATC for integration until January of 2007. Significant differences between the two contracts were successfully handled by the ATC Systems Integration team, including changes to the field device configuration, lane configuration, and even to the communications protocol made by the Pinner's Point subcontractor occurring as late as January of 2007. In spite of the limitations of the field control delivered by the Pinner's Point contractor, ATC has provided the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) with a fault tolerant, fully functional and complete NewTON (New Tunnel Operations Network) traffic control system. This is the fourth successful NewTON system installed by ATC for the Virginia DOT in the Norfolk area.

This system provides NTCIP compliant control of the Dynamic Message Signs on the project using our patent pending NTCIP to OPC driver, while also communicating from the same computer to 170e Traffic Controllers using the ATC OPC to Legacy driver. Operators are unaware that these devices use different communications methodologies as they coexist on the screens of the operator's consoles seamlessly.

Advanced Traffic Control's engineers combine 30 years of process control experience with Intelligent Traffic Systems technology to design, build, and upgrade Traffic Control Centers. Using commercial-off-the shelf SCADA technology as a base, ATC provides robust, stable, distributed systems to government agencies, and an Advanced Fault Tolerant Solution which provides constant availability, protecting against data, hardware, and software failures.
