Augusta Regional ATMS Master Plan
AUGUSTA REGIONAL ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ATMS) MASTER PLAN
The Augusta Regional Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) Master Plan, completed in 2002, outlines a phased, 20-year plan for implementing an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in the Augusta region.
Major ITS components include regional transportation control centers in Augusta and Aiken, field equipment (fiber optic cable, traffic signal controller upgrades, CCTV cameras, radar speed / volume detectors, and dynamic message signs) and deployment of the GDOT Highway Emergency Response Operators (HERO) and SCDOT State Highway Emergency Program (SHEP) units on area freeways.
A separate Technical Memorandum includes the specifications for the regional ITS architecture. The ATMS Plan was developed by P B Farradyne, Incorporated, in cooperation with Gresham Smith and Partners and Manual Padron Associates. The plan was developed with input from many stakeholders, and adopted by the ARTS Policy Committee on March 7, 2002.
