Australian company ATC to supply traffic signal controllers for Dublin’s light rail project

Australia-based Aldridge Traffic Controllers (ATC) is to install its ATSC4 VC6 traffic signal controller in Dublin, Ireland, for the Luas Cross City Light Rail project. The new light rail system for Dublin City is the next phase of Dublin’s integrated light rail network and will pass through 25 SCATS-controlled junctions and 10 pedestrian crossings. It is the extension of the Luas Green line creating an interchange with the red line. There will be 13 new stops with 8 of these in the core city centre area.
