Econolite could develop a modern, developer-friendly API that enables access to both real-time and historical traffic signal management data within the Centracs platform.

Key Features:
Real-Time SPaT Data – Retrieve live Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) information, including active phases, countdown timers, and upcoming transitions.

Detector Insights – Access both instantaneous and aggregated detector data—such as vehicle counts, occupancy, or presence—to support analytics.

Schedule & Override Control – View or modify signal timing plans, including scheduling overrides or activating special timing scenarios.

Health Monitoring – Provide diagnostics and communication status (e.g., controller connectivity, signal faults, system uptime).

Benefits:
Enables seamless integration with third-party systems—like traffic analytics tools, adaptive control algorithms, digital twin simulations, or smart city dashboards.

Empowers agencies and integrators to build proactive, data-driven applications (e.g., AI-based control, performance monitoring, traffic forecasting).

Encourages innovation within the community by providing dynamic access to intersection-level data.

Why this matters:
Econolite's Centracs Mobility is already a cloud-based, flexible ATMS platform known for customization and real-time capabilities
