129 Swarco’s traffic control technology has been chosen by construction company SDC to regulate heavy vehicle and plant traffic movements over a two-year building project at the University of Cambridge’s Civil Engineering department.

Called ITC-3, the solution is designed for a range of traffic management applications and can be connected to a variety of control and monitoring systems.

The ITC-3 can be delivered for pedestrian control and small intersections, as a version with six phases and up to 16 detectors. For most intersections, the 3U rack comes with up to 24 phases and 40 detectors. Versions with 32 phases and up to 128 detectors can be configured for complex applications or to cover more than one intersection.

Mark Hickmott of Swarco Traffic, said: “SDC now has a highly reliable and bespoke system which can deal with every eventuality. The life costs of this system are substantially lower than temporary traffic signals.”

Seattle’s metropolitan area of 3.5 million people, like much of the western seaboard of the United States, lies in an earthquake zone. In Seattle’s case, the city and its hinterland sit atop a complex network of interrelated active geological faults capable of severe seismic activity and posing complex considerations fo

    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
