772 McCain has announced a contract award from the 1780 New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) for 2070E traffic signal controllers, the first deployment of these units in New York.

McCain introduced the 2070E traffic controller in 2010 and successfully marketed a NYSDOT version, securing its place on New York’s Qualified Products List (QPL) early this year. The controller was designed in full compliance with the 923 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) 2009 Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES), supporting interchangeability and upgrades to existing intersection management without requiring cabinet replacements.

The NYSDOT 2070E traffic signal controller’s superior operability is supported by an integrated four-port network switch, 32MB of system memory, 2MB static RAM for R0 drive and 4MB for R2 drive offering increased processing power, 64Mb (8MB) data key capacity, and one Ethernet port. The OS-9 operating system supports various applications based on the software control package utilised.
