189 Siemens is launching a new range of traffic solutions, including the ST950 traffic controller, its Stratos traffic management solution and a complete range of above-ground detectors.

The new ST950 traffic controller family represents the very latest in a long line of proven and highly successful traffic controllers designed and built in the UK by Siemens and includes a host of new features and new levels of accessibility and safety to the market. Integral UTMC OTU, 4-stream MOVA 7, easy to follow web style user interfaces and safer operation are just some of the ST950 highlights. Stratos, which the company claims represents the future of traffic management, has been developed using the latest cloud-based technology and delivers scalable real-time traffic management, information and control, from basic monitoring to strategic control of complex urban traffic environments.  Increased redundancy, flexible deployment models and access anywhere maximise network efficiency whilst minimising operational costs.

Siemens’ range of Heimdall above-ground traffic detectors utilise advanced 24GHz radar technology, offering the benefits of above-ground detection of both vehicles and pedestrians without the road surface disruption associated with below-ground systems, combined with high performance, simple installation and low ongoing maintenance.
