series of intelligent transportation system technologies. Click image for larger view
A leader in design, development, and deployment of
Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), Southwest Research
Institute (SwRI) has been implementing ATMS since the early 1990s. SwRI
integrates new technologies and equipment into existing ATMS and
Traffic Management Centers (TMC).
SwRI is also active in the
development and administration of state and national standards for ATMS.
SwRI has implemented and integrated the following intelligent
transportation system (ITS) technologies:
