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.

By 2025 almost 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas and in those cities there will be an estimated 6.2 billion private motorised trips every day. In order to manage this level of traffic growth, traffic management centres (TMCs) will need to both increase their monitoring capabilities and be able to detect traffic problems quickly, efficiently and r
