RSS2699 Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has awarded 5303 TransCore a US$3.3 million contract to replace its existing traffic management software system and integrate the company's TransSuite traffic management software into the Gateway Guide programme, a system designed to relieve congestion and improve safety in the St. Louis area, the state’s largest city.

With an existing TransSuite deployment in Kansas City, MoDOT looked to TransCore to bring its products to bear in their largest urban area. A detailed transition plan will provide a seamless transfer to the TransSuite system and minimise service disruptions.

TransSuite is an integrated family of transportation management software products designed to meet all ITS needs in a common architecture. The system framework provides field-proven software modules for all ITS devices including traffic signal controllers, freeway management data collection, ramp metering, dynamic message signs, CCTV controls and display management, incident management and response, and centre-to-centre interfaces.

The user interface is consistent and intuitive across the entire product family. The Windows interface will be familiar since the interface employs Windows standards for drag and drop controls, fly-over information, and context-sensitive device menus. Each workstation can access all system functions with customised security levels for each user.

According to David Sparks, TransCore’s executive vice president, “The Missouri Department of Transportation’s decision to adopt the TransSuite traffic management system will provide even more sophisticated integration among Missouri DOT’s various traffic systems so the Gateway Guide traffic management centre engineers can manage their roadway networks with increased precision and respond to traffic situations in real time."
