Applying advanced technology to integrate surface transportation systems creates a synergistic effect where the whole system is greater than the sum of the individual parts. GCA implements electronics, computers and communication technologies to link components resulting in greater efficiency and performance. Systems can be designed to generate their own timing plans, offer remote diagnostic capabilities, produce traffic volume reports, provide video monitoring of roadways, detect traffic stoppages, operate motorist information signs, divert traffic to alternate routes, provide pre-emption for transit and emergency vehicles and interface with traveler information systems.



GCA conducts an inventory of existing systems, defines the current architecture and determines compatibility among devices. The design incorporates the most cost-efficient deployment of equipment while ensuring the maximum return on functionality and performance.



GCA is knowledgeable in the communication protocols that allow the exchange of information between devices. With messaging being a critical feature of ITS, a reliable infrastructure for providing timely and accurate intelligence is vital.



GCA supervises the implementation to ensure all design requirements are met for the maximum efficiency, effectiveness, and safety. A system implementation offers numerous benefits such as decreased congestion, reduced collisions, improved emergency response time, and advanced travel alerts.
