MAAPcloud TRL'S new generation of its MAAP road traffic collision data software
The UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (491 TRL) has launched MAAPcloud, the new generation of its MAAP road traffic collision data software which it says provides a better fit with today’s technological environments, and offers additional capabilities.

MAAPcloud’s design allows flexible deployment; police forces, local authorities and other agencies can share a system and reduce costs, creating opportunities for cross-border and regional collaboration and data sharing. The online environment provides authorised users with access to powerful analytical tools; data, including the latest collision and casualty figures, are made available to all relevant users as soon as they are released.

With the UK Government committed to expanding the use of cloud technologies in the public sector, authorities are considering how this new way of working provides opportunities for collaboration.

    Transport and traffic data is on the increase but there must be an integrated data highway to derive the maximum ITS benefits, argues Deutsche Telekom. From public transport operators recording increasingly precise and comprehensive data on their vehicle’s position and driving behaviour to local authorities using RFID and video systems to control traffic on their streets and highways, the amount of traffic data is growing rapidly.

Just a short time ago, that could have been a quote from a high-level policy document but with the first arrivals of vehicles with 802.11p connectivity – the door-opener to Vehicle-to-X (V2X) applications – it’s a statement which has increasing validity. The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only

    Siemens Stratos journey time application is undergoing its first UK trial with South Gloucestershire Council. The council is trialling the system using data from a network of automatic number plate (ANPR) cameras to monitor the reliability of traffic times on key corridors and provide a baseline for measuring the impact of network strategies and improvements. Developed using the latest cloud-based technology, Siemens says Stratos delivers scalable real-time traffic management, information and control; fr
