A new edition of the standard used by the traffic management industry, NTCIP 1103 v03 Transportation Management Protocols (TMP), has been jointly published by the 7174 National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the 4944 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the 5667 Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).

The revised TMP standard includes ‘traps’ functionality, which allows a user to specify conditions under which reporting might occur on an immediate or expedited basis. NTCIP’s interoperable design allows traffic managers who are implementing other NTCIP standards to use the traps published in NTCIP 1103 v03.

    On 10 March, the European Parliament approved amendments to the directive on the maximum authorised dimensions and weights for trucks and buses. The final agreement allows for much needed design adaptations to make cabs safer, but only following a revision by the European Commission of the cab type-approval.
