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.

    Jenoptik uses sensor fusion to avoid monitoring confusion
    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of

    The sheer range of variables makes it difficult to find a single algorithm to ensure a 100% standard of ANPR. David Crawford investigates new processing technology. Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), using optical character recognition and image-processing to identify vehicles, plays key roles in traffic monitoring and law enforcement, access and parking control, electronic toll collection, vehicle security and crime deterrence. Overall, system performance is well rated, with high levels of
