Our Experience in ITS Project Management and Strategic Initiatives

Our team has extensive experience in managing task work order-based contracts for programs including an Arterial Management Program, Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) initiatives, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployments. We excel in building and maintaining relationships with local agencies to foster collaboration and achieve shared transportation objectives.

Our recent efforts include a variety of high-impact projects:

  • RTMC Video Wall Replacement: Upgrading regional traffic management capabilities.
  • SMART Bay Initiative: Implementing advanced strategies for enhanced traffic management.
  • Traffic Signal Maintenance Compensation Agreements: Establishing agreements to support ongoing signal maintenance efforts.

Our expertise extends to the development and implementation of Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) strategies, covering areas such as work zone management, traffic incident response, transit and freight management, signal coordination, ramp management, and integrated corridor strategies. We are also actively involved in the deployment of Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) technologies.

In addition, we have successfully secured over $6 million USD in funding through comprehensive justification and detailed documentation efforts, supporting the deployment of innovative transportation initiatives.

Planning

We start with thorough planning to lay the groundwork for successful ITS deployments.

  • ITS Master Plan: We develop tailored master plans to guide the strategic implementation of ITS, ensuring alignment with your long-term objectives.
  • ITS Architecture (National, State, Regional): Our team ensures that designs comply with the relevant ITS architecture standards to facilitate seamless integration across different jurisdictions.

Design

Our design services cover all aspects of ITS infrastructure, combining technical expertise with innovation.

  • Field Infrastructure: We create resilient, scalable designs for field installations that support future expansion.
  • Back Office Infrastructure: Our designs ensure that the back-office systems can efficiently handle data and operations.
  • Electric Design: We plan electrical supply systems to support ITS device functionality and reliability.
  • Utility Survey: Our surveys identify existing utilities to prevent conflicts and ensure safe construction.
  • Communications Design: We design communication networks that enable reliable device connectivity.

Concept of Operations

Developing a detailed Concept of Operations (ConOps) is crucial for defining the project's goals, scope, and performance expectations.

  • We establish a clear ConOps to align stakeholder expectations and ensure a smooth transition from design to implementation.

Systems Engineering Process

Our systems engineering approach guarantees that all ITS solutions are implemented in a structured and efficient manner.

  • Following the Systems Engineering V-Model, we move systematically from high-level requirements to detailed design and testing.

Construction and Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI)

We oversee construction to ensure that ITS infrastructure is installed according to specifications.

  • Standards and Specifications Compliance: Our CEI services include monitoring for compliance with all relevant standards and specifications.

Integration and Testing

We conduct rigorous testing to verify that all systems function as intended.

  • Layer I Field Testing: Device installation testing to confirm hardware placement and functionality.
  • Layer II Field Testing: Connectivity testing for devices to ensure proper communication.
  • Layer III Testing: End-to-end testing that connects devices to the back-office systems.

Operations and Maintenance (O&M)

Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring that ITS components continue to perform optimally.

  • Preventive Device Maintenance: Regular inspections and calibrations to maintain efficiency.
  • Corrective Device Maintenance: Troubleshooting and repairs to restore full functionality.
  • Predictive Device Maintenance: Using data-driven insights to anticipate and prevent potential issues.
  • Funding for O&M: We assist in securing and managing funds to sustain long-term maintenance programs.

Device Operation and Usage Strategies

We provide strategic guidance to optimize the operation of ITS devices.
