UK-based manufacturer Hollco has delivered a new portable traffic light system which it says will cut costs and reduce site visits.


Phil Hutchinson, Hollco’s director, says the RadioConnect2 (RC2) can operate for up to 18 days without needing to change or recharge batteries.

“It will also mean less disruption for road users and a reduction in unnecessary customer contacts for the contracting organisation,” Hutchinson adds.

Go Traffic Management, which has received the new system from Hollco, contributed to the development of RC2 and provided input during the design process.

RC2 features AutoGreen technology which uses information from the advanced radar sensor from 559 AGD Systems to automatically adjust green and inter-red times to help minimise traffic queuing.

“This adaptive approach can even automatically compensate throughout the day for tidal traffic flows – for example during rush hours,” Hutchinson concludes.

But that dream has become a reality for some drivers in a small number of cities around Europe in the las

    Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: a solution or another problem?
    Do Advanced Driver Assistance Systems represent a positive step forward for safety, or something of a safety risk? Jason Barnes discusses the issue with leading industry figures. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are already common. Anti-lock brakes or electronic stability control are well understood and are either fitted as standard or frequently requested by new vehicle buyers. More advanced ADAS features are appearing on many top-end vehicles and the trickle-down has already started. Adaptive
