Meadowlands Adaptive Signal System for Traffic Reduction

[1] This regional intelligent transportation system (ITS) incorporates more than 128 traffic signals and serves more than 400,000 vehicles daily.

[2] MASSTR is the fourth-largest deployment of SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) in the United States.

Signal timings are optimized across jurisdictional boundaries with a central computer system at a Traffic Management Center in the NJMC Complex.

The Meadowlands adaptive system utilizes adaptive traffic signal control software, wireless and fiber optic communications, and vehicle detection cameras, which are coordinated at an NJMC Traffic Management Center.

[5] An expansion of the project for the NJ Department of Transportation is currently underway [6] to mitigate future congestion from the closure of the Pulaski Skyway for reconstruction.
