Farragut advanced traffic management system (ATMS) phase 1 - intelligent transportation system

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Tennessee Department of Transportation $583,571 on May 15, 2025, through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to modernize traffic signal infrastructure in Farragut, Tennessee. Under this formula grant, TDOT will upgrade an existing closed-loop traffic signal system to a centrally controlled intelligent transportation system (ITS) capable of coordinated real-time traffic management. Key deliverables include replacement of current signal controllers with advanced equipment, upgrade of communications infrastructure to Ethernet standards, installation of flashing yellow arrow signal heads, replacement of span wire signals as needed, enhanced pedestrian infrastructure, cabinet and detection system upgrades, and updated traffic signal coordination timing across five roadway corridors: US-11/70 from Watt Road to Concord Road, Campbell Station Road from Snyder Road to US-11/70, SR-332 from US-11/70 to Turkey Creek Road, South Northshore Drive from US-11/70 to SR-332, and Parkside Drive from Campbell Station Road to city limits.

This Phase 1 ATMS project represents a 2016 CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) award focused on enhancing transportation safety, mobility, and operational efficiency through intelligent transportation system deployment. The modernized traffic signal system will enable centralized monitoring and control capabilities, improving traffic flow coordination and pedestrian safety across the designated corridors.
