Home MenuAdaptive Signal Control Technology in Cool Springs
Approximate total cost-$1.6 million, 80% Federal/20% Local
Description
The City of Franklin is utilizing Federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds, along with a 20% local funds match, to design and implement Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) at several intersections in the Cool Springs area. When completed, this ASCT system will automatically adjust (in stepped increments) traffic signal timings at the connected intersections to better reflect changing traffic conditions. After completing a thorough qualifications-based process, the City has selected the Split, Cycle, and Offset Optimization Technique (SCOOT) system from Siemens Industry, Inc. for this project.
