378 Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) has won a five-year deal to provide multimodal transport management solutions in Sydney, Australia.

The $35m intelligent congestion management programme contract with Transport for New South Wales (NSW) will “enhance monitoring and management of the road network across NSW”, co-ordinating public transport and providing real-time information about disruptions.

Cubic – along with WSP, PTV, Mentz and Microsoft – will provide a technology platform which integrates the operational management systems for all modes of transport in the Sydney area.

Cubic has been involved in traffic management in the city since the 1990s, but the company says this is the first contract anywhere in the world for its next-generation Transport Management Platform.

Tom Walker, managing director of CTS Asia-Pacific, says: “The world’s cities have become far more complex in the last 20 years and transportation planners now need to deal with a range of new opportunities and challenges while preparing for a hybrid future, which will likely include the introduction of autonomous vehicles.”

Over the past two decades the scope and spread of intelligent transport systems has grown and diversified to encompass all modes of travel while at the same time integrating and consolidating. Two decades ago the idea of detecting cyclists or pedestrians may have been considered impossible and why would you want to do that anyway? Today cyclists can account for a significant propor
