Description

The City of Lancaster seeks qualified consulting firms to evaluate the feasibility, requirements, costs, benefits, and implementation considerations of converting its conventional traffic signal timing system to an Adaptive Transportation Management System (ATMS), including AI-based adaptive traffic management technologies. The work includes reviewing existing signal infrastructure, detection systems, communications, central signal management, and traffic operations; assessing available ATMS technologies; and identifying possible pilot corridors. The consultant will evaluate anticipated costs and benefits and develop a funding, procurement, and implementation strategy. The evaluation is intended to inform whether an ATMS is appropriate and, if so, provide a path toward pilot deployment and potential future expansion.
