Atlantic

  • Confederation Bridge Electronic Tolling System - Confederation Bridge (Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick)

    Introduction of electronic tolling services as an alternative form of payment for commercial trucks and buses at the Confederation Bridge. The transponder to be used will be identical to those already in service at other tolling facilities in the Maritimes so that, as long as the necessary account is established at each facility, the same transponder can be used throughout the region.
     

Alberta

  • Advanced Traveller Information and Traffic Management Systems Blueprint for Highway 2 Between Edmonton and Calgary - Alberta

    The Highway 2 corridor between Edmonton and Calgary is the busiest traveled route within Alberta. Alberta Transportation is conducting an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) study to assess the immediate and future requirements to improve safety and operational functions that can be addressed through the use of ITS technologies.
     
  • Video Traffic Management and Traveller Information Project - Edmonton, Alberta

    Deploy CCTV technology to provide information to various civic departments for traffic and incident management, as well as a traveller information system that provides live image data via television and the City of Edmonton website.
     
  • Traffic Signal Priority and Automatic Vehicle Tracking System (Phase II) - Calgary, Alberta

    The Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) for Buses and the Automatic Vehicle Tracking System (AVTS) will utilize advanced technology to a) provide priority for buses at signalized intersections; and b) a means of collecting and analyzing vast quantities of data required to validate and adjust transit schedules. The objective of this project is to increase the attractiveness of transit as a mode of travel within Calgary.
     
  • Variable Message Signs along Highway 2 - Red Deer, Alberta

    The Alberta Ministry of Transportation will receive $250,000 for the deployment of Variable Message Signs along Highway 2, in the vicinity of Red Deer. This will provide better road information to drivers.

  • Brock Road Incident Management System - Regional Municipality of Durham

    This initiative involves the deployment of ITS subsystems, and the integration of these systems and existing systems to complete an arterial-based incident management system.
     
  • Deployment of Intelligent Transit Vehicle Subsystem - Ottawa

    The first major component of Transit Services move to adopt the ITS architecture is an Intelligent Transit Vehicle Subsystem, to enhance vehicle tracking and schedule adherence. This project will be implemented in three (3) phases over a two-year period, commencing late 2002.
     
  • Integrated Mobility Systems: A Multi-Modal Multi-Application Smart Card Initiative for Canada - National Consortium, led by Moving the Economy, City of Toronto

    Led by Moving the Economy, the IMS Project is the first coordinated effort of its kind in Canada to explore the deployment of mutli-modal multi-application smart cards. The intent of Integrated Mobility Systems is to access and link a wide range of urban and inter-city transportation modes, tourist and other urban services using smart card technology as an enabling tool.
     
  • Multi-Agency Use of the GO Transit Smart Card - Greater Toronto Area (GTA)

    This project is intended to establish the framework for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) implementation of regional transit smartcard fare collection system based on the new GO Transit electronic fare collection initiative.
     
  • Road Access and Disruption Management Program (ROADMAP) - Toronto

    This initiative involves the design and implementation of a Road Access and Disruption Management Program (ROADMAP) System to manage disruptions to the arterial and expressway road network in the City of Toronto. The ROADMAP system will be located and operated from the City of Toronto's Traffic Management Centre It will use remote data collection and communication devices to gather data on road network disruptions.
     
  • Transit Priority System Integration And Deployment Initiative - Ontario - Regional Municipality of York
    This study and initial deployment is very much in line with the same sort of studies and TPS demonstrations conducted by the former Metropolitan Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission in the 1990's. York Region, in light of their recent amalgamation of Transit authorities within the Region into a single organization in January 2001, is very much interested in how they may continue to improve their transit operation for all the residents in the region.

  • An Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) for School Bus Drivers (Advance Warning and Detection of Children Around the School Bus) - Quebec and New Brunswick

    School transportation safety is always topical, and it is a field in which all parties practice zero tolerance. The issue of safety devices on school buses is a subject of continual discussion, especially when it comes to the eight-light system or advance warning system.
     
  • Evaluation of a system for automatically detecting incidents by processing video images from existing cameras monitoring highways - Montreal, Quebec

    The project aims to evaluate the performance of an Automatic Incident Detection (AID) system that processes video images from existing fixed and roving eye cameras along highways.
     
  • Strategic planning of intelligent transportation systems and deployment of an automated real-time system for detecting delays and notifying users - Montreal, Quebec

    This project by the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) has two parts: Part 1: Strategic planning of intelligent transportation systems Part 2: Deployment of an automated real-time system for detecting delays and notifying users of delays (initial short-term demonstration project)
     

Saskatchewan

  • Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

    The City of Saskatoon plans to replace the current Integrated Traffic Control System with a modern, state-of-the-art National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation Systems Protocol (NTCIP) compatible ATMS software and equipment. This will be the first NTCIP compatible, metric version of an advanced traffic management system in Canada. The system will provide many advantages to users of the system, including improved reliability, functionality, usability and increased efficiency.
