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.

    Although urban traffic control and parking management are inextricably linked in so many ways, there remain fundamental differences which undermine closer integration. Car parking guidance systems can have a significant, positive impact on congestion in town and city centres, however conflicting business models still stand in the way of the more profound integration of car parking management and Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems.

    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
