The release of V1.17 of 101 Peek Traffic’s IQ Central provides users with several new features.  Intended for the traffic operations centre, IQ Central is Peek's central traffic equipment management software suite and enables traffic personnel to configure and monitor hundreds of traffic control devices from a central location.

The new features include greenband analysis, allowing users to optimise offset programming for a coordinated corridor using an interactive time-space diagram, while the split monitor function enables optimisation of split programming for an intersection by recording actual phase utilisation and termination data and comparing to the programmed timings. Use the split monitor utility to analyse the programmed versus actual split times run by an actuated intersection running coordination.

In addition, volume and occupancy reports have been updated and expanded, enhanced support for the Voyage controller firmware has been included, as well as support for converting existing IQ Central databases to SQL server for large database handling, and the IQ network configuration tool makes it easier to designate standard and non-standard locations for the IQ Central server, utility application files, and database files adding flexibility during installation.

    Coordination is the key to successful integrated corridor management, argues Telegra’s chief operating officer, Branko Glad. The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has calculated that in 2013, traffic congestion cost American citizens $124 billion ($78 billion of wasted time and fuel and $45 billion in indirect losses). In 2030 this figure is predicted to rise to $186 billion.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    As part of a growing effort to use technology to manage traffic on roads and highways without building more roads, for the last six months Florida’s Palm Beach County has been using Bluetooth readers to determine how long it takes motorists to travel along its corridors. "We're adding more capacity through technology rather than asphalt," said Dan Weisberg, Palm Beach County's traffic engineer. "We can't build ourselves out of congestion. We need to be smarter about what we have and manage it." In collabor
