What are traffic management and control services?
Traffic management and control services include the technical work needed to keep intersections and transportation networks operating safely. This can include signal turn-on support, controller programming assistance, detection system audits, cabinet health checks, ATMS deployment, hardware repairs, conflict monitor testing, and staff training. Traffic Control Corporation supports agencies, DOTs, municipalities, contractors, and consultants with field and depot-level expertise.
How often should traffic signal systems be audited?
Traffic signal systems should be reviewed routinely, with many agencies scheduling annual cabinet, detection, preemption, and MMU checks. Higher-volume corridors, recently upgraded intersections, or locations with recurring complaints may need more frequent audits. Preventative reviews help identify detection misalignment, aging components, software issues, and safety-critical faults before they disrupt traffic operations.
What is included in a traffic signal cabinet health check?
A traffic cabinet health check typically evaluates power supplies, wiring, controller operation, load switches, detection interfaces, communication components, and conflict monitoring equipment. The goal is to identify wear, loose connections, environmental damage, or failing electronics. Traffic Control Corporation’s audit services help agencies improve reliability, extend equipment life, and plan repairs before unexpected failures occur.
Can Traffic Control Corporation provide onsite troubleshooting?
Yes. Traffic Control Corporation provides technical field service and support, including signal turn-on service, detection system turn-on, onsite troubleshooting, product selection assistance, ATMS installation, and systems training. Field support is handled by factory trained and certified technical staff who understand traffic signal equipment, ITS solutions, and agency operational requirements.
Do you repair traffic signal hardware?
Traffic Control Corporation provides hardware repair and certification services for controllers, video and detection systems, and conflict monitors. Some services are completed through specialized repair and certification processes, while warranty work is performed at the factory. This helps agencies restore equipment performance without immediately replacing every malfunctioning component.
What support is available for ATMS systems?
ATMS support can include software deployment, upgrades, health checks, maintenance, monitoring configuration, intersection hardware coordination, and user training. Traffic Control Corporation supports systems such as Econolite Centracs® through training and technical service, helping agencies monitor assets, respond to alerts, manage schedules, and maintain better visibility across connected corridors.
Who typically uses these services?
Traffic Control Corporation serves state and local transportation agencies, Departments of Transportation, municipal governments, county transportation departments, local contractors, and consulting service providers. The company supports customers across an eleven-state Midwest territory with product expertise, field service, equipment support, training, and access to a broad manufacturer network.
Do you offer traffic signal training for agency staff?
Training options include introductory traffic signal courses, controller operation and programming, traffic detection, ATMS training, signal timing and coordination, NEMA TS2 cabinet instruction, and custom technology seminars. Courses may be offered at the Woodridge training facility, scheduled in local areas, or arranged onsite at a customer facility when requested.
