YuTraffic Blade represents upgrade from Yunex’s M60 advanced traffic controllers

Yunex Traffic reports the first installation of its Yutraffic Blade intersection controller is now operating in the city of Salina in the US state of Kansas.

Yunex says that Salina currently operates Yunex’s M60 advanced traffic controllers and their decision to upgrade demonstrates their commitment to staying at the forefront of traffic management technology.

“Benefits like being able to access the controller from anywhere and having an edge computing device at the intersection are what really motivated us to install the Yutraffic Blade,” said Dennis Dewitt, traffic signal superintendent for the City of Salina.

Yutraffic Blade has been designed with enterprise network security in mind to responds to the growing needs around critical infrastructure and zero-trust environments. Users can remotely view, diagnose and dispatch staff with the information and equipment they need to fix and maintain intersections.

Yunex says that the Yutraffic Blade is the only device on the market that empowers transportation engineers to optimise timing plans. They can easily access advanced analytics based on historical data stored locally on the transportation controller without the need for additional third-party reporting solutions.

“Yunex Traffic remains dedicated to advancing traffic management technology, and the successful installation in Salina is a testament to our commitment to excellence,” said Rodney Mathis, managing director of Yunex Traffic US.
