Reno A&E has launched two intersection malfunction management units (MMU), the RAE MMU2-1600GE and MMU2-1600G, which are compliant with the NEMA TS2-2003 (R2008) standard for Traffic Controller Assemblies.

Both units include an OLED display and a configuration wizard to configure the monitor for standard eight-phase, dual-ring operation using a series of questions. The wizard can set up eight flashing yellow arrow (FYA) types (A-H) plus set up and monitor eight additional FYA types (I-P). It assists users to define and monitor any type of left turn including protected, FYA and PPLT5 and will make recommended settings for: dual indication/field check enabled; per channel red enabled; flashing “Don’t Walk” monitoring; FYA settings; and LED thresholds.

The OLED display allows access to all configuration settings, real-time monitor status, with applicable AC and DC voltages, advanced diagnostic information, all MMU logs including the 12 most current signal sequence log and context sensitive help screens.

The 77 ultra-bright LEDs convey field status information to the user. Each of the 16 channels has a red, yellow and green LED to provide a concise and intuitive indication of the status of all channel inputs. Channels 1 through 12 have a white LED to indicate “Walk” in the Type-12 mode.

    Connected offers free I2V connectivity
    A new system could reduce the cost of implementing I2V communications across a city to less than that for a single intersection, as Colin Sowman hears. It may seem too good to be true but US company Connected Signals is offering city authorities the equipment to provide infrastructure to vehicle (I2V) communications for free. The system enables drivers to receive information about the timing of signals they are approaching via the EnLighten smartphone app (or connected in-vehicle display).

    ITS homes in on cycling safety
    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

    Escort unveils connected car radar / laser detection system
    Escort has announced the launch of what it claims to be the first radar and laser detector designed for connected cars (CCs) to alert drivers of the latest ticket threats in real-time. Through built in Wi-Fi, the Escort Max 360c (EM360) updates drivers through the vehicles on board connection. The EM360 connects directly to the CC’s Wi-FI and automatically connects to the real-time ticket-protection network, Escort Live (EL), without needing the smartphone to connect to the detector. It is designed with

    Open data gives new lease of life to public travel information screens
    David Crawford finds resurgent interest in travel information screens for buildings. With city governments worldwide increasingly opening up and sharing their public transport data for general use, attention is focusing on the potential financial benefits – to transit operators and businesses more widely. Professor Stephen Goldsmith, who directs the US’ Harvard University’s Data-Smart City Solutions Project says: “Amid nationwide public-sector budget cuts, open data is providing a road map for improving tra
