189 Siemens has released a new Stratos journey time monitoring module (JTM), enabling traffic managers to manage real time journey information more effectively and help ensure optimal network operation.

The Stratos JTM module was one of the first modules to be made available. Initially supporting automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, the types of devices supported and features available have now been expanded. In addition to ANPR cameras, Bluetooth detectors, SCOOT loops and links to third party systems can all now be used to contribute to the rich source of information available to Stratos enabling effective traffic management.

According to the company’s product marketing manager (systems), David Pregon: “Network operators can now create and profile routes, update signs with dynamic JT legends, create new Strategy Manager JT triggers and publish JT information using Stratos Emerge with the latest version of the Stratos JTM module.

‘Stratos automatically scales to meet demand as the network grows and is easy and intuitive to operate, ideal for users with multiple roles,’ added Pregon.
