Augusta Regional Advanced Transportation Management System Master Plan
Plan Goals
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)
- Deployment of the Georgia Department of Transportation Highway Emergency Response Operators (HERO) and South Carolina Department of Transportation 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. In 2013, the ARTS MPO updated the ATMS Plan.To view the previous ATMS Plan in 2002, please click this link 2002 Augusta Regional ATMS Master Plan.
