Hollco delivers RC2 traffic light system to GTM

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.

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.

    Machine vision - cameras for intelligent traffic management
    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
