California’s 7945 Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and connected vehicle partner GoMentum Station have formed a collaborative agreement with Intelligent Transport Systems Japan (556 ITS Japan), aimed at further accelerating connected vehicle applications and sharing autonomous vehicle technology data.


Over the last two years, other Japanese-based organisations, such as 1683 Honda, have been testing at GoMentum Station. This latest collaborative agreement is expected to expose other companies to the advantages of testing at GoMentum Station located at a secure site in Concord, California.

    The bus to IP access control has left the station
    David Lenot examines how mass transit agencies can benefit from IP access control and the features required to ensure a sound investment. With millions of commuters relying on their services daily, mass transit agencies are faced with the unfortunate reality that their operations are susceptible to threats. A single incidence of unauthorised access to restricted areas and buildings could be the catalyst to damaged property, endangered lives or other unfortunate events. Unlike an international airport

    Driving hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to market
    An EU-funded project, with the support of the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint undertaking (FCH JU), has installed hydrogen filling stations, tested prototype fuel cell vehicles and brought together car makers and infrastructure providers to push forward the commercial viability of this zero-emissions technology. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which manufacturers aim to make commercially available from 2018, offer zero-emissions transport and function much like an electric vehicle. However, fuel cell vehicles mu

    Opening the closed-loop to realise ITS benefits
    Jim Leslie, manager of ITS applications engineering at the Econolite Group looks at practical steps in transitioning from closed-loop masters to a centralised ATMS. Not many years ago the standard method of coordinating signalised intersections in local areas was to install an on-street master – each of which monitored and controlled a limited number of signal controllers or intersections as a closed-loop system. And, to a certain extent, each closed-loop system was autonomous from others deployed by the ag
