Intelligent Transportation Systems
Roads and rails and the vehicles on them are becoming smarter as the world enters the ITS age. New potential applications of ITS technologies are emerging constantly and Parsons’ engineers are at the forefront. Parsons pioneered many innovations in the use of
closed circuit TV for traffic monitoring and surveillance, incident detection, and computer-aided emergency response. Daily diversions during major construction programs, such as Boston’s Central Artery/Tunnel and New York City’s Gowanus Expressway, require congestion mitigation techniques. Parsons provides intelligent
transportation techniques ranging from Variable Message Signs, to information websites, and call-in telephone updates.
One essential Parsons design capability is centralized operations control, which deploys technology to enable multiple sites to be monitored and controlled from a single location. Advance communications are another key to ITS success, using microwave and fiber optic systems to provide all weather reliability and efficient use of bandwidth for maximum utilization of video, voice, and data transmission.
