772 McCain is to deliver 1,500 advanced traffic controller (ATC) cabinets to Los Angeles. The company says these models include a 32-channel operation and safety enhancements for installers.  


The one-year project is an agreement with the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADoT).

Traffic control cabinets come with computers and sensors which control traffic signal timing to help improve the safe movement of vehicles and people.

ATC standard cabinets feature a lamp-out detection functionality which sends a notification when signal lights fail. The system also triggers a flashing red light when an intersection's backup system needs repair.

These cabinets are also equipped to meet the meet emerging connected and autonomous vehicle requirements, the company adds.

McCain’s 351, 352, 356 and 357 models will be implemented in phases with the final number based upon LADoT's budget.

The system, implemented by Siemens, uses two Flir cameras. The safe walk camera observes the waiting area. A stereo camera with two CMOS 1/3-inch mono sensors and 3 mm lenses is mounted 3.5 metres above the ground to cover an area of 12 sq m. This camera is set to recognise on

    Red light running is dangerous, but people still do it. As Wavetronix says, rather than rely on enforcement technologies that try (and ultimately fail) to change driver behaviour, why not make systemic changes that remove the risk of running red lights altogether? Wavetronix is highlighting on its booth here at ITS America Detroit, that it is possible to help drivers pass through intersections more safely and keep them from running red lights without affecting efficiency. The company’s SmartSensor Advance
