As 136 Traffex 2015 event partner, 189 Siemens will be exhibiting products from across its extensive range, from innovative traffic controllers, signals and detection solutions, to the very latest traffic management, electric vehicle charging and traffic enforcement systems.

Siemens new Service Operations Centre, which is being launched at Traffex, is a dedicated traffic management and support service which brings together the company’s existing Field Service Contact Centre, Systems Support and its Poole-based Consultancy Services team into one location. Featuring Stratos, Siemens’ cloud-based traffic management solution, and hosted traffic management, the development is designed to enhance customer service with the capability to remotely manage local authority road networks including monitoring key routes and junctions, strategic traffic control and network optimisation from a single facility.

Siemens is also demonstrating a host of new controller features this year including the innovative and unique speaking controller capabilities. In addition, a new Pedestrian Countdown at Traffic Signals unit and a new cycle detection system will be unveiled at the show. WiMag cycle detection uses in-ground, low-power, wireless detectors and microwave radar technology to identify and count bicycles of all types, including those constructed from carbon fibre. The solution complements the company’s existing WiMag, loop and radar detection solutions.

Also on show at Traffex 2015 will be Siemens’ latest range of electric vehicle charging equipment is designed in particular for long-term use in challenging environments. A full range of three-phase AC and DC charging equipment will be on display, including our latest bay monitoring capabilities.

    Wireless traffic data in real time
    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    Additional functionality gives loops a continued lease of life
    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although

    Improving traffic flow with automated urban traffic control
    Alterations to traffic signals and variable message signs are being activated to reduce congestion as soon as it occurs, through a pioneering fully automatic UTC system. Jon Masters reports In the South Yorkshire town of Barnsley in England, strategies for dealing with traffic congestion have been devised from analysis of queue data, then made to work automatically: “This represents the future of ITS for urban traffic control,” says Siemens Consultancy Services senior engineer David Carr.
