This document provides an introduction and overview of an Automated Traffic Management System (ATMS). The key points are:
- ATMS aims to ensure smooth traffic flow, increase transportation efficiency, and enhance road safety through real-time traffic monitoring, emergency response coordination, and dynamic message displays.
- The main components of ATMS include emergency call boxes, variable message signs, automatic traffic counters, meteorological data stations, video incident detection systems, radio communication systems, CCTV cameras, and a control room.
- The control room integrates data from all components, monitors traffic and road conditions, controls variable signs, manages incidents and emergencies, and generates reports. It allows operators to oversee the entire

Introduction to ATMS
ATMS was introduced as an integrated traffic management and rescue console. The traffic management and
rescue console, under the leadership of the ATMS control center, is intended to introduce an automated
check-list based approach to ensure an integrated and efficient service delivery to the various stakeholders to
prevent accidents and in case the accident does happen, then timely coordinated action in rescuing accident
victims and early restoration of traffic. Below are the motto of ATMS:
• Smooth and uninterrupted traffic flow
• Increase in transportation system efficiency
• Smart mobility
• Reduce journey time and inconvenience
• enhance road safety
• Alerts for abnormal road and weather conditions

An emergency telephone is a phone specifically provided for making calls to
emergency services and is most often found in a place of special danger or where it is
likely that there will only be a need to make emergency calls.

Variable Message Sign
n- Gantry
ButterflyCantilever
A variable- (also changeable, electronic or dynamic-
) message sign, often abbreviated VMS, CMS, or DMS,
and in the UK known as a Matrix Sign is an
electronic traffic sign often used on roadways to give
travelers information about special events.
Such signs warn of traffic congestion, accidents,
incidents, roadwork zones, or speed limits on a specific
highway segment. In urban areas, VMS are used
within parking guidance and information systems to
guide drivers to available car parking spaces.
They may also ask vehicles to take alternative routes,
limit travel speed, warn of duration and location of the
incidents or just inform of the traffic conditions

Automatic Traffic Counter Cum Classifier
Automatic Traffic Counter Cum Classifier
ATCC keeps a count of vehicles for a specific highway
segment along with this the vehicles can be classified
according to their classes. Passive Infrared or Radar
technology is used for automatic traffic counters and
classifiers.
