Central Florida transport system expands Opticom transit signal priority system

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) is to expand its GPS-equipped Opticom transit signal priority system (TSP) on the Florida Department of Transportation’s I4 corridor project. An additional 30 transit vehicles will be equipped with TSP transmitters, allowing them to request green light priority at intersections and helping to ensure on-time arrival for transit passengers.

542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) is to expand its GPS-equipped Opticom transit signal priority system (TSP) on the 4503 Florida Department of Transportation’s I4 corridor project. An additional 30 transit vehicles will be equipped with TSP transmitters, allowing them to request green light priority at intersections and helping to ensure on-time arrival for transit passengers.

The Opticom TSP system allows public transportation agencies to extend or truncate green cycle times at traffic signals for more accurate schedule adherence and/or to get riders to their destinations faster. In turn, transit vehicles are on the road less, which can significantly reduce fuel and other fleet operations costs.

    Ensuring worker safety and up-to-date driver information is crucial to ensure that roadworks are not a source of danger and delay. Andrew Williams looks at a scheme on the A14 in Cambridgeshire, UK. In recent years, portable workzone ITS solutions have emerged as important tools in the management of major roadworks and system upgrade projects - and are viewed as an increasingly vital means of ensuring any ongoing traffic flow disruption is kept to a minimum. The technology forms a central component of an
