The latest release of traffic signal controllers from US headquartered manufacturer and supplier of intelligent transportation systems, traffic control equipment and parking guidance solutions, 772 McCain, effectively brings the open architecture, modular design, and advanced functionality of the Model 2070 controller platform to NEMA TS 1/TS 2 Type 2 and NEMA TS 2 Type 1 applications, says the company.

Both the 2070EN1 NEMA controller and the 2070EN2 NEMA controller have been designed to fully comply with the most current specifications from two leading transportation agencies; the 923 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES), and the 7174 National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) TS 2 standard.

Some of the advanced features that enhance the overall operability of the 2070EN1 and 2070EN2 controllers include: an integrated 4-port network switch that supports 10/100MBPS, 32MB of system memory and 4MB R2 drive for increased processing power, 32Mb datakey capacity, and two Ethernet ports.  

“We recognise Caltrans and NEMA as national thought leaders in transportation,” said Nathan Welch, national sales manager at McCain Inc. “As such, we are pleased to provide customers with a product that effectively combines the best of both worlds.”

The two new traffic signal controllers will supersede the 2070LN1 and 2070LN2 equipment, although the company will continue to support legacy controllers to meet customer demand, providing users with a cost-effective means to upgrade to a more modern infrastructure without the need to replace cabinet hardware.

    While the US has achieved an appreciable level of success when it comes to implementation of standards-based systems at the urban and intersection control levels, the overall standards implementation effort is not progressing at anywhere near a level commensurate with the size of the country and its population, says Christy Peebles, business unit manager with Siemens Industry, Inc.'s Mobility Division. She attributes the situation to a number of factors: "There's a big element of 'Not Invented Here' syndro

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
