Jacksonville, US expands traffic signal priority

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) has contracted with Jacksonville Transportation Authority in Florida for the expansion of its latest-generation GPS-equipped Opticom transit signal priority (TSP) system. The Opticom TSP system allows public transportation agencies to extend or truncate green cycle times at traffic signals for more accurate schedule adherence. In turn, transit vehicles are on the road less, which reduces fuel and fleet costs for more profitable operations. In Jacksonville, additional bu

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

    Syracuse models post-industrial revival for US cities
    A connective corridor in Syracuse, New York State, could be a model for other post-industrial cities, as David Crawford discovers. The aim of the city of Syracuse’ 5.6km-long Connective Corridor in Onandaga County in upstate New York is to create a model ‘complete street’ for use in wider regeneration schemes. Key transport-sector components are traffic calming, high-quality transit with accessible passenger information, plus walkability and bike-friendliness.
