During National Public Works Week May 17-23, the City of Santa Ana recognizes the City’s Public Works Traffic Management Center (TMC) for their state of the art facility located in City Hall. The center is the hub for traffic signal operations and data management. The TMC provides a centralized location for engineers to monitor, manage and investigate traffic flow throughout the City.

Santa Ana’s Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) is the integration of various intelligent transportation systems (ITS) elements that includes over 300 traffic signals, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, advanced data collection sensors and a robust fiber optic communication network.

The ATMS allows engineers to monitor traffic in real-time and make appropriate adjustments to traffic signal timing to help improve traffic flow. The strategically situated ITS elements assist engineers to monitor and maintain traffic signal synchronization along the City’s most heavily traveled streets. The synchronized traffic signal system helps reduce traffic congestion and air pollution emissions by maximizing the traffic progression through the system.

Centro de Gestión Avanzada de Trafico

El 17 al 23 de mayo se celebra la Semana Nacional de Obras Públicas. La ciudad de Santa Ana desea reconocer el trabajo del Centro Avanzado para Gestión de Tráfico (TMC), y por sus instalaciónes de última generación ubicadas en el Ayuntamiento. El TMC se presta como centro de operaciónes de semáforos de tráfico y gestión de datos. El TMC proporciona una ubicación centralizada para que los ingenieros supervisen, administren e investiguen el flujo de tráfico en toda la ciudad.

El Sistema Avanzado de Gestión de Tráfico (ATMS) de Santa Ana es la integración de varios elementos de sistemas de transporte inteligente (ITS) que incluye más de 300 semáforos de tráfico, cámaras de televisión a circuito cerrado (CCTV), sensores avanzados de recolección de datos y una sólida red de comunicación de fibra óptica.

El ATMS permite a los ingenieros monitorear el tráfico en tiempo real y hacer los ajustes apropiados a la sincronización de los semáforos para mejorar el flujo del tráfico. Los elementos ITS ubicados estratégicamente ayudan a los ingenieros a monitorear y mantener la sincronización de los semáforos a lo largo de las vias más transitadas de la ciudad. La sincronización de semáforos, por medio de maximizando la progresión del tráfico a través del Sistema, ayuda a reducir la congestión del tráfico y disminuye las emisiones de contaminación del aire.
