Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles Advanced Transportation Management and Information System (ATMIS)

Abstract

The Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles (Ports) have recently implemented their Advanced Transportation Management Information System (ATMIS) to improve roadway vehicular traffic and incident management within the Ports and their surrounding area. The ATMIS allows for the real-time monitoring and control of connected intelligent transportation system (ITS) field devices. It also allows for real-time communication with external systems involved in travel information dissemination, cooperative traffic management, and coordinated response to incidents and special events on the Ports' surrounding arterials streets, highways, and freeways. Considering that the Ports related truck traffic is expected to double in the next 10 years with only limited number of access routes to and from the Ports and two of the three access bridges to be in construction for replacement over the next five years, the ATMIS provides the necessary real-time traffic management tool to ensure effective goods movement.
