Technology-enabled intelligent transportation systems 

CDM Smith delivers intelligent transportation systems that leverage real-time data, connected technologies and integrated infrastructure to improve safety, efficiency and reliability across transport networks. Our teams plan, design and implement ITS solutions that support traffic management, incident response and informed operational decision-making. From traffic control systems and corridor management to connected mobility and system integration, we develop practical, scalable solutions that enhance network performance. By embedding ITS throughout the project lifecycle, we help clients deliver smarter, future-ready transportation systems that adapt to evolving demand and operating conditions.

Traffic management and control systems 

We design and integrate traffic management centers, signal control systems, and corridor management solutions that improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance incident response across urban and highway networks. 

Connected, data-driven mobility solutions 

CDM Smith delivers ITS solutions that leverage real-time data, sensors, and communications to support smarter mobility. These systems provide operators with actionable insights to optimize performance and improve safety outcomes.

Integrated ITS and infrastructure design 

We embed ITS elements within road, bridge and tunnel projects to ensure seamless integration with physical infrastructure. Our approach aligns technology, civil design and operations from the outset.

Planning, implementation, and system integration

From feasibility studies and concept of operations to detailed design, procurement support and commissioning, CDM Smith supports the full ITS lifecycle—ensuring systems are interoperable, scalable and future-ready.
