First SCOOT for Mississippi

Siemens has won a new SCOOT adaptive traffic signal control project in the US city of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. With a population of nearly 50,000 people, Hattiesburg is the fourth largest city in the state. In the first phase, SCOOT will control up to forty intersections in Hattiesburg and the surrounding area with more intersections expected to be added to the system over the coming years. The project is being managed by local dealer Temple Inc and Siemens USA. Roadside implementation will get underway

    The city of Cologne, Germany has installed two CMOS-camera based video pedestrian light systems that will recognise waiting pedestrians and extend the green phase if there are still people crossing after the standard time allocation. The system, implemented by Siemens, uses two Flir cameras. The safe walk camera observes the waiting area. A stereo camera with two CMOS 1/3-inch mono sensors and 3 mm lenses is mounted 3.5 metres above the ground to cover an area of 12 sq m. This camera is set to recognise on

    Elmar Brockfeld, Alexander Sohr and Peter Wagner from the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Transport Systems look at the prospects for floating vehicle data systems. Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla
