Siemens awarded China, UK traffic projects - Suzhou Industrial Park
189 Siemens has won the contract to provide the traffic signal control system for Suzhou Industrial Park’s Administrative Committee (SIPAC) ITS Phase II Project in China. Under the contract, the company will supply 110 ST950 traffic controllers, designed and manufactured by Siemens in the UK, and a UTC/SCOOT traffic management system. Installation supervision, commissioning and integration services will also be provided.

With real-time monitoring and networked control at junctions, optimised traffic signal parameters will be applied to ensure complicated traffic situations are handled with greater reliability. By shifting the traffic control mode from traditional stand-alone mode to real-time area-adaptive control, the project will provide optimised operation of the traffic system in the industrial park.

According to Andy Gill, Sales and Business manager at Siemens, the deployment of the new Siemens equipment is expected to reduce traffic delays, accidents and congestion as well as improving the traffic safety and efficiency of the network.

SIPAC and Siemens also intend to consider other opportunities for further cooperation, including system adaptation, customised application development and information integration. “The SIPAC ITS project will become another successful milestone for Siemens’ ITS applications in China,” said Gill.
