580 Temple, a regional systems distributor based in Alabama, USA has awarded 2229 Optelecom-NKF a US$503,000 contract for 572 Siqura 9000 series fibre components to support the expansion of 2087 South Carolina Department of Transportation's intelligent transport system to remote areas of the state. The system’s network of traffic cameras, automated recorders and sophisticated sensors provide real-time information on rapidly changing traffic volumes and speeds, real-time weather data, and evacuation route information in the event of a hurricane. The system also utilises variable message sign technology and links to an array of media, such as the internet and radio, to keep the public up to date on road congestion and travel conditions.

    New Hampshire plans for tomorrow’s communication
    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
