The next phase in the MDATMS is to proceed with full county-wide deployment of the MD-ATMS.
In this deployment, the current NEMA traffic controllers will be replaced with newer
Type 170 traffic controllers to provide additional functionality.
There are also intentions to upgrade the current analog modems to digital modems.
This will allow for faster data transfer rates.
Eventually the system will be converted and increased data transfer rates. The conversion to a wireless Ethernet
network will enhance the current system, enabling operators to connect to and manage controllers in the network using
hand-held mobile devices. It also lays the foundation for the integration of additional devices
into the network that can be managed by the system such as wireless Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
cameras for monitoring intersections.
