189 Siemens will unveil Plus+, a new generation of traffic controller and signals at 136 Traffex 2017 at the NEC, Birmingham next month. The new solution includes newly designed and dedicated on-street equipment and fully integrated design, configuration and installation tools, ensuring the most efficient traffic signal implementation available today.

The Plus+ system uses advanced technology to distribute intelligence and control around the intersection, rather than it all being centrally located in the controller cabinet, with the aim of offering significant reductions in on-street installation and maintenance time, improved safety and yielding significant reductions in total deployment costs.

According to Siemens, Plus+ will be safer and quicker to install, easier to maintain and less expensive. The use of fewer and lighter cables and with the new approach making it possible to pre-assemble signals and use low-level access poles, will allow installation engineers to spend less time working on-street, reducing risk and public disruption.

    Reducing detection costs benefits intersection management
    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions. However there are current developm

    Growing use of PC-based systems for urban traffic control
    Siemens Mobility's Mark Bodger discusses the growing use of PC-based systems for urban traffic control. Across the ITS sector, there is a common trend of taking traffic and travel management out of the hands of bespoke solutions, realising the use of common, open-source technologies and solutions and enjoying all the attendant economies of scale and ease of use which that implies.

    IP technology the route to efficient multi-agency control rooms
    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case

    Wireless traffic detection system from Siemens offers an alternative
    Siemens WiMag wireless traffic detection, which is an alternative to conventional loop and radar traffic detection systems, uses magnetic disturbances to detect vehicles and low power wireless technology to transmit data to host controllers. The company says WiMag can offer a more flexible solution than traditional loop detectors, particularly where detection is required at significant distances from the traffic controller. Battery-powered, wirelessly linked and smaller in size than traditional loop detecto
