Project Description:
The Authority is the nation’s largest bridge and tunnel authority serving more than one million people daily. It operates the Henry Hudson, Triborough, Bronx-Whitestone, Throgs Neck, Verrazano-Narrows, Gil Hodges-Marine Parkway, and Cross Bay bridges and the Queens-Midtown and Brooklyn-Battery tunnels.

The project, which Transdyn designed, built, and maintains, is called ATM IDEAS (Advanced Traffic Management Incident Detect/Evaluate/Act System). ATM IDEAS includes designing, furnishing, and integrating new computer, communication, and software systems at each bridge and tunnel control center and the development of a new central Operations Control and Communication Center (OCCC).

The new system allows the Authority to efficiently monitor traffic, weather, and roadway conditions, detect and respond rapidly to incidents and events, and provide real-time motorist advisories through electronic message signs.
