WINTER
SPRINGS, Fla. --- Advanced Technologies, Inc. (ATI)
was recently awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research
(SBIR) grant by the Small Business Administration (SBA) through
the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop an open-source
traffic intersection Signal Control Program Environment (SCoP).
Mark
Gardinier, president of Advanced Technologies, Inc., said the two-year
contract is worth more than $600,000.
Advanced
Technologies, Inc. began developing real-time embedded military
software in 1986, focusing on missile guidance systems, flight
control systems, satellite communications systems, weapons tracking
systems, and black box interfaces.
Gardinier
said the Signal Control Program Environment under development will
incorporate either an open source traffic signal control program
or a more refined version of the dual redundant (Ada95,C++) intersection
signal control prototype ATI developed during their SBIR Phase
I effort. ATI will develop the SCoP so that Cooperative Intersection
Collision Avoidance Systems (CICAS) and Adaptive Control Systems
(ACS) Lite software can easily be integrated. SCoP
will also incorporate newly developed Advanced Signal Control concepts. The
SCoP software will ultimately be ported to an Advanced Traffic
Controller.
Advanced
Technologies, Inc. is a client company
of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program
located at the Seminole County-Winter Springs Incubator site.
