 Via Linda ITS Improvements Project
Scope of Work:
CS furnished and installed wireless traffic sensors, video surveillance cameras and Dynamic Message Signs to the city’s ITS network. These upgrades also connected the Scottsdale Police Department to the existing fiber optics communications system.
Benefit:
The Scottsdale Police Department can utilize existing and upgraded communications networks through this additional fiber optic cabling. For example, upon receipt of a 911 call, the police department can access live video from cameras to determine the best course of action. Real time information allows timely decisions that can save lives.
 Scottsdale ITS T1 Camera Project
Scope of Work:
CS was contracted to install traffic surveillance cameras on 33 intersections throughout the city of Scottsdale. The image and pan tilt zoom controls of these cameras are transported directly to the Scottsdale Traffic Operations Center through the use of T1 circuits. The surveillance system is essential to the actions taken for roadway situations, such as which emergency response equipment should be deployed.
Benefit:
The completion of this project enabled the City of Scottsdale’s traffic operation center to monitor live traffic conditions and make critical adjustments as necessary. These adjustments were vital in reducing motorist’s drive time which ultimately reduced lost time, fuel consumption and emissions.
 City of Phoenix Downtown Traffic Management System (PHASE I)
Scope of Work:
CS was contracted for the installation of fiber optic communication systems, traffic surveillance cameras, variable message signs, and blank out signs throughout the Phoenix downtown area. This Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) was designed to manage ingress and egress traffic during special events at Chase Field and the US Airways Center as well as provide an added measure of safety for the officers directing traffic.
Benefit:
This project was integral in reducing the amount of time it takes for traffic to flow in and out of downtown Phoenix during special events and will ultimately save valley citizens millions of dollars in fuel and time.
 AZTECH Smart Corridors Project Phase I and II
Scope of Work:
CS was contracted to install traffic surveillance cameras, vehicle detection equipment and Variable Message Signs (Motorist Info Display) along congested multijurisdictional traffic corridors throughout the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. The completion of this project allowed for direct monitoring and communication for eight traffic operation centers throughout the valley.
Benefit:
The live monitoring and adjustment capabilities provided by the completion of this project were vital in reducing motorists’ drive time which ultimately reduced lost time, fuel consumption and emissions. These systems also aid in the actions taken for roadway situations, such as critical decisions made regarding emergency response crews.
 Tempe Town Lake Bridge Special Purpose Lighting
(Metro Light Rail)
Scope of Work:
This project created programmable light shows for special events occurring at Tempe Town Lake. In addition, this lighting is utilized every time the metro light rail train crosses the bridge. This bridge contains 3,000 feet of telekinetic lighting tube in which every foot has a separate IP address allowing programming of up to 16.8 million color possibilities. This digital lighting can create dynamic shows designed by trained lighting technicians that feature endless capabilities.
Benefit:
This lighting project is the first of its kind in the state and greatly increases the aesthetic value of the Tempe Town Lake Bridge. These unique features make the City of Tempe more attractive to the organizers of prospective special events, as well as encouraging customers to utilize the metro.
 Statewide Dynamic Message Signs
Scope of Work:
CS was contracted for the installation of Dynamic Message Signs throughout the state of Arizona for use by the Department of Transportation. These signs allow motorists to make informed decisions regarding travel routes and road/safety conditions.
Benefit:
The use of Dynamic Message Signs has increased significantly over the past few years. These signs are an efficient way of providing the traveling public with dynamic information that can ease traffic congestion resulting in the reduction of lost time, fuel use and emissions. Dynamic Message Signs have also been proven effective for displaying estimated drive times and nationwide Amber Alerts.
 US60 Widening Project Gilbert to Power
Scope of Work:
CS installed programmable logic controllers overseeing the environment as well as access control to the communications node at the US 60 and the Loop 202 Interchange. This project gave the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) the ability to have traffic surveillance cameras for traffic monitoring, ramp metering and Dynamic Message Signs for the US 60 from Gilbert Rd. to Crismon Rd.
Benefit:
Traffic monitoring allows local news and traffic enabled GPS devices to provide accurate information to motorists. This information is particularly helpful for mitigating traffic congestion during weekday morning and evening commutes.
