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.”

    Miovision has developed a new, low-cost way to connect intersections, leveraging the power and ubiquity of the cloud to collect and deliver traffic management data to traffic management centres (TMCs). Connecting cabinets via wired connections across a municipality tends to be a costly and disruptive process. According to Miovision's CEO Kurtis McBride, transmitting data wirelessly over cellular networks to the cloud and then giving TMCs access to those datastores is a much more effective way to arm traffic

    The city of Abilene, Texas, in the US is using new adaptive traffic control software from Siemens to increase traffic flow along a heavily travelled corridor, where two state highways meet at two intersections about 750 feet apart with elevated railroads passing between them. SEPAC Peer-to-Peer software allows intersection controllers to share information with one another on traffic and pedestrian conditions, allowing the on-street network of controllers to adaptively respond to changing traffic conditions
