5642 Trafficware has upgraded its ATMS central traffic management system to include user interface customisation enhancements and metadata for connected vehicles.


Trafficware, part of 378 Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), says the ATMS 2.9 brings traffic network data into a single repository for a real-time view of traffic operations.

Jon Newhard, vice president and general manager of Trafficware, CTS, says the solution improves the company’s connected vehicle capabilities.

“Through deploying connected vehicle technology in thousands of intersections across the US, we are enhancing the ability of those data feeds to be consumed beyond the connected vehicle,” Newhard adds.

The system features an intersection layout which allows users to create templates for different intersection types and load predefined templates if intersections have identical or similar layouts. Additionally, users can choose to create scan elements automatically with all parameters pre-populated, after defining the layout for a new intersection.  

ATMS 2.9 provides additional metadata for the intersection layout available through its connected vehicle module or TidalWave, a live streaming traffic information service powered by intelligent edge analytics.

Metadata is expected to summarise basic information about data, which can make finding out and working with particular instances of data easier.

The US state’s population has grown 50% in the last 20 years and another 50% hike is predicted in the next 20. It also spends more than $13 billion in roadway crash costs each year. In 2015, 546 people died in traffic-related crashes, and more than 3,000 were seriously injured.

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
