In a deal worth around US£7.8 million, 189 Siemens is to supply one of Poland’s most densely populated cities, Bialystock, with an inner-city traffic management system to optimise the growing volume of private vehicle traffic and increase the efficiency of its public transportation.

Siemens’ Sitraffic Concert traffic management system will be installed to improve traffic flows.  A new traffic management centre will receive data from more than 145 intersections, outstations, red light enforcement systems or public transport, providing centralised traffic management.  The data will enable operators to optimise traffic signals to give priority to public transport, increasing its attractiveness.

Future plans include providing travellers with traffic information via the internet, text messages and e-mail.

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

    Peek is introducing GreenWave for 2070 controllers. The new Linux-based firmware designed for NTCIP traffic signal controllers, is on display at the company's booth at ITS America 2016. GreenWave empowers users to create central systems, closed-loop systems, or simple bit relays to communicate I/O from one intersection to the next. The new firmware (formerly known as NWS Voyage) is compatible with Peek's Spinnaker advanced traffic management system (ATMS), and a variety of other NTCIP compliant centra
