The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has inaugurated its traffic signalisation system (TSS), an advanced real time traffic management network that is expected to greatly improve traffic and pedestrian and commuter safety in Metro Manila.

A new Metro command and control centre houses the system which features 25 new fibre optic high definition pan-tilt-zoom traffic control/video surveillance cameras and 36 45-inch video screens for traffic monitoring.

MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino said phase 1 of the mid-term TSS is capable of initially managing 85 priority intersections and 25 traffic control/video surveillance locations around Metro Manila under a new management software system.

“In the future, this new system will be able to manage up to 500 intersections. TSS aims to upgrade, automate, and optimise the management and traffic engineering installations around Metro Manila,” Tolentino said.

When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of

With only 130,000 residents, New Haven can hardly be called a metropolis. Measuring less than 502km (18 square miles), the city is huddled against the coast, squeezed between two mountains (appropriately called East Rock and West Rock) that, at 111m and 213m (366ft and 700ft) respectively, can hardly be called mountains. The airport is small and has limited service, and th
