Implementation Plan: Las Vegas Area Computer Traffic System

The Las Vegas Area Computer Traffic System (LVACTS) was established in 1981 as one of the only multi-jurisdictional traffic signal systems in the United States. Since then, the Las Vegas Valley has experienced the most rapid growth of any metropolitan region in the country. Recognizing the need to improve the signal system, LVACTS retained a consultant team led by Barton-Aschman Associates, Incorporated to examine the available options for upgrading the present system. This Feasibility Study focused on the development and evaluation of several alternatives for upgrading the LVACTS system. In essence, this project was concerned with reviewing present and future conditions and needs and developing a feasible, yet cost-effective approach for addressing these needs and issues.
