5182 Dynalectric Los Angeles, a subsidiary of 5183 Emcor Group, has been awarded a contract for the Coliseum/Florence region for the automated traffic surveillance and control (ATSAC) project for the city of Los Angeles. To facilitate an orderly completion of this major ATSAC project, Los Angeles was divided into 36 geographical areas; each area was phased into the entire ATSAC system. This project is the last to be completed and means that all signals in Los Angeles will be tied into the citywide computer controlled traffic signal system.

Dynalectric will be responsible for upgrading and/or replacing 72 traffic signal controllers involved in the Coliseum/Florence II ATSAC project, including various modifications to existing traffic signal poles, gear, and wiring at all locations. Scope of work includes installation of over 13.5 kms of underground conduits and fiber optic cables; seven video surveillance cameras and loop detectors installed for vehicle traffic, including bus loops, video and data communication equipment.
