Traffic signal control centre win for Siemens

A contract worth US$8.22 million to design and build a traffic signal control centre in the Polish city of Bialystok has been won by Siemens. The centre is to be ready for 2015, and will enable buses to take priority at almost all of the city's crossroads where traffic lights are installed, according to Deputy Mayor of Bialystok, Adam Polinski. In addition, the new system will be designed to promote optimal flow of general traffic.

A contract worth US$8.22 million to design and build a traffic signal control centre in the Polish city of Bialystok has been won by 189 Siemens.

The centre is to be ready for 2015, and will enable buses to take priority at almost all of the city's crossroads where traffic lights are installed, according to Deputy Mayor of Bialystok, Adam Polinski.

In addition, the new system will be designed to promote optimal flow of general traffic.

City officials hope that implementation of the system will increase bus speeds by at least ten per cent and reduce the time spent waiting at intersections.  The system will also report on accidents and congestion and provide information on available parking facilities.

    San Antonio, Texas, is launching a new GPS-based bus rapid transit system (BRT) that keeps San Antonio’s new VIA Primo bus fleet on-schedule with minimal impact on individual traffic flow. Siemens Road and City Mobility business has worked together with Trapeze Group to create a new transit signal priority (TSP) solution that they say is the first of its kind to use a ‘virtual’ GPS-based detection zone for transit vehicle traffic management without the need for physical detector equipment at the intersectio

    The city of Abilene, Texas, in the US is using new adaptive traffic control software from Siemens to increase traffic flow along a heavily travelled corridor, where two state highways meet at two intersections about 750 feet apart with elevated railroads passing between them. SEPAC Peer-to-Peer software allows intersection controllers to share information with one another on traffic and pedestrian conditions, allowing the on-street network of controllers to adaptively respond to changing traffic conditions
