Start Date:
-Summary:
This webinar will explore how ATSPM is currently used to improve traffic signal timing and operations. ATSPM technology and strategies allow agencies to keep track of traffic signal performance on an ongoing basis. Instead of waiting for months for information from signal timing studies, agencies can respond to citizen complaints and operation issues within days and hours, saving agencies time and money.
