Value Delivered
The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) invented an Automated Traffic Surveillance and Control (ATSAC) technology to monitor traffic. This ATSAC adaptive control system uses real-time detector loops between intersections to track traffic as conditions change.
KDC Inc., (formerly known as Dynalectric L.A.), was able to deliver turnkey installation of this new technology to help LADOT upgrade 188 intersections and extend ATSAC along key corridors for their Golden State Freeway Phase 1, Exposition Park, and Highland Park district initiatives.
Client Objectives
The LADOT wanted to upgrade their ATSAC systems at more than 180 intersections.
