Single GPS device synchronises all controllers

Canadian company STI-Tassimco has developed the STS-22 to enable traffic authorities to easily synchronise all its traffic controllers. Featuring a GPS satellite time synchronisation module and a user friendly display, the device fits standard a NEMA or 170 detection chassis or can be mounted in its own one-position chassis, and updates the controller’s clock on a regular basis. The STS-22 will compensate for the clock’s temperature drifting and other variations observed in the field, keeping it accurat

Canadian company 7533 STI-Tassimco has developed the STS-22 to enable traffic authorities to easily synchronise all its traffic controllers.  Featuring a GPS satellite time synchronisation module and a user friendly display, the device fits a standard NEMA or 170 detection chassis or can be mounted in its own one-position chassis, and updates the controller’s clock on a regular basis. The STS-22 will compensate for the clock’s temperature drifting and other variations observed in the field, keeping it accurate with GPS satellite time.  Following a power failure, the unit will also automatically readjust the controller’s time to ensure the intersection goes back online and coordinates quickly with the other controllers.

    Communications hold key to expanding ITS wireless network expansion
    Wireless transmission of data and control information is making smarter traffic management easier and cheaper to install. It has long been known that connectivity is the key to improving traffic management and many cost-benefit studies prove that investment in new technology can be justified in terms of reduced congestion, shorter travel times, improved safety and air quality. However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to

    Near-fit technology can provide the solution - just ask the question.
    When a company launches a product it never quite knows how that product will be used and what else it may be required to do. Lufft’s mobile weather sensor MARWIS is a prime example. Last winter Lufft introduced MARWIS, its mobile road weather sensor, handing it initially to long-term sales partners to test and improve. What was known was the sensor’s fast reaction rate (up to 100 Hertz), combined with its wide range of measurement information, and would provide users with a gapless overview of the road stat
