US-based 772 McCain has released the latest upgrade to its Omni eX intersection control software, which the company says expands traffic operations and communication capabilities.  Usability improvements allow users to intuitively modify the entire database of timing parameters directly from the controller front panel. In addition, extra security features enable agencies to limit and track user access through unique logins and passwords.

The latest version offers transportation agencies an even more powerful and sophisticated solution for managing any type of intersection.  Utilising modern transportation standards, Omni eX intersection control software is built in accordance with the National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP) and the ATC controller standard. As such, it is capable of operating 2070 and NEMA-based controllers and interfacing with any cabinet configuration including 170/2070 style, ATC, NEMA, and ITS cabinets.

“We put the user first when laying out product improvements for Omni eX 1.4,” said Douglas Tarico, software engineering manager at McCain Inc. “Our goal is to lessen the time technicians spend in the field by maximising uptime, making it easier to program and troubleshoot.”

Display screen technology is evolving rapidly but while the video wall is arguably the most important technology system in a traffic management centre (TMC), most are five to 10 years old and effectively obsolete. When faced with similar problems, other sectors around the world have adopted a policy of leasing all or part of the equipment.

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers. It was back in April 2004 that the European Parliament adopted the EU Directive which lays down the Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (2004/54/EC). This was the first unitary legislation setting minimum safety standards for European road tunnels and was designed to harmonise the management of tunnel safety at a national level. Operators of existing tunnels have until 30 April 201

    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
