US based 772 McCain, manufacturer and supplier of intelligent transportation systems, traffic control equipment and parking guidance solutions, has been awarded a one-year contract for 332 and 336S traffic controller cabinets and 170E traffic signal controllers by the City of Fort Worth, Texas.

The company says 170/2070-style 923 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) approved traffic signal controllers and controller cabinets represent some of the most tried-and-true solutions the industry has to offer. Featuring an open architecture design, the cabinets afford the City of Fort Worth the opportunity to interchange assemblies between product manufacturers, including the flexibility to select third-party firmware or controller hardware.

The 332 and 336S traffic controller cabinets are designed for an eight-phase, four-pedestrian operation with two overlaps. Both have two railroad and four emergency vehicle pre-emption inputs, sixteen detector channels and are compatible with two-channel or four-channel detectors.
