With our latest release of VIMMS®, VTMS continues its pioneering efforts in the development of enhanced transportation asset management systems. Our latest product release is a state-of-the-art integrated Asset Management System that provides a transportation agency the most dynamic and user-friendly desktop management tool available today.

VIMMS® represents a compilation of over 40 years professional experience in the design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of traffic control devices as well as software development, brought together in a single dynamic software package.

What is VIMMS®?

Pedestrian and vehicular traffic depends on traffic control devices that are easily seen and recognizable in order to safely navigate designated travel ways. This is especially critical during inclement weather and nighttime hours. Additionally, the increasing percentage of older drivers and their unique visual needs must be a major consideration.

For these reasons, transportation professionals should institute asset management practices, which ensure that these silent sentinels of information utilize the most cost-effective materials, and are replaced or refurbished in a timely fashion. Vulcan's Visual Information Maintenance Management System® offers transportation agencies state-of-the-art database software technology to manage their traffic control devices in a highly efficient manner.

In VIMMS® the following nine optional asset management modules and associated Historical Records are available:

Roadside Manager - Roadside Manager - Guardrails, Bus Shelters,   Benches, Fire Hydrants, Handicap Ramps, Landscape Items
