Transport Scotland has commissioned Atkins to run the First Generation Traffic Scotland Operator Service from late January 2008, replacing the operations functions previously provided by Glasgow City Council.
The Traffic Scotland Interim Control Centre in central Glasgow has been established to provide the focal point for the monitoring of the trunk road network, to control traffic to improve the operational condition of the network and to share and disseminate information. The service from this control centre operates around the clock, every day of the year, providing up-to-date information on the conditions on the trunk road network across Scotland.
Transport Scotland is responsible for the management and maintenance of the trunk road network in Scotland. The trunk road network is managed and maintained by private sector companies (Operating Companies) who are contracted by Transport Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government. They carry out day-to-day inspection, management, maintenance and repairs to the trunk road network under five to seven year contracts.
