Bournemouth Borough Council on the south coast of England is the first local authority in the country to deploy 189 Siemens InView, the company’s all new fault management system designed specifically for the traffic market. It allows traffic managers to keep a record of traffic monitoring and control equipment and to track the status of that equipment, including maintenance issues, running costs and equipment reliability. Cloud based, with a web browser interface, InView offers fault reporting and asset management in one package and provides users with guaranteed data security, no on-going hardware maintenance charges and reduced communications costs.

The provision of InView forms part of an existing traffic signal maintenance contract provided by Siemens that covers 192 traffic signal installations across the town.
