Econolite EOS: designed to support future smart city and connected vehicle programmes

Econolite's EOS advanced transportation controller (ATC)  software has been approved by the Florida Department of Transportation (FD0T) under the 671-017-010 certification for the Econolite Cobalt ATC. 

Already deployed at more than 3,500 intersections in North America, EOS powers Cobalt, "as well as properly configured ATC-style controllers from other manufacturers", Econolite says.

The company adds that EOS will help prepare transportation agencies and cities for deployments which are likely to come.

 Jim Madden, Econolite regional vice president, eastern sales, says: “EOS is designed with the future in mind to improve traffic control capabilities, while supporting future smart city and connected vehicle programmes."

EOS has been designed to be intuitive for users, with an interface which will "maximize usability of traditional displays, as well as incorporating a new web user interface". 

"EOS has the ability to dynamically respond and adjust to changes in plans, field conditions, and real-time data from priority vehicles," Econolite adds.

FDoT gave similar approval to the manufacturer's ZincBlue2 battery back-up system last year.

    A new traffic management solution is attempting to bridge the gap in information available on freeways and arterial roadways. Andrew Bardin Williams reports. Agencies responsible for national networks of roads around the world have the ability to measure, analyse and disseminate accurate travel information to drivers. Millions of dollars go into data collection infrastructure to collect traffic congestion and travel time information on major freeways or highways. For example, a driver on the I-210 in the Lo
