129 Swarco has been awarded a contract for a major traffic management project with various locations throughout Hungary, including several urban areas, by the Hungarian Public Road Non-Profit.

Swarco will develop a new fault indication system specifically tailored to Hungarian needs and also adapt its service software to suit local requirements. The final system will provide an advanced traffic control system that provides harmonised and adaptive traffic control with remote control to help improve traffic flow and reduce emissions.

The project includes the delivery, installation and set up of several system components: Central software; Open communication interface compatible with existing GSM based APN system; 452 Actros traffic controllers; 4600 plus Futura LED traffic signals; 793 vehicle detectors; 443 pedestrian sensors for 134 intersections; and touch push buttons.

Installation and development work has already started; the project is due to be completed by May 2015.

    Swarco signs aid peak time traffic flow on residential streets
    The London Borough of Camden has installed two Swarco Prism signs at either end of a width-restricted road in a bid to curb drivers using the road to avoid congestion during peak periods. The signs are timed to change at peak periods of day to create a short one-way section and ease traffic flow. Outside these hours, priority working signs manage the narrow stretch of road. The signs include integrated PC controls, which enable operators to remotely control and alter the timing of the switchover as req

    Traffic management turns to machine vision
    Traffic engineers can use the latest advances in vision technology to streamline and enhance traffic management. The idea of using one camera to perform all functions at an intersection is attractive to authorities for many reasons and camera supplier Gridsmart says it can make this happen. Its Bell Camera offers a horizon to horizon view that includes the centre of the intersection where vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians cross paths and it can be used for traffic light actuation, traffic data collection a

    Combining accurate network estimates and forecasts with real-time information is the way to deal with traffic hot spots. Alan Dron looks at products which aim to achieve just that. Traffic management authorities have for years been trying to get ahead of the game. Instead of reacting to situations, they want to be able to head them off as they occur – or even before they happen. Finding that Holy Grail of successfully anticipating problems will save time, tension and tempers on city streets. Two new system
