772 McCain has introduced what it says is a new and improved Transparity TMS (traffic management system),  developed to meet the demands of current transportation systems. Transparity TMS is said to be easy to learn and customise, while offering the functionality normally associated with central control software.

The system has been completely redesigned on a modern platform to provide dependable monitoring and command of signalised intersections, and offers 24/7 access to real-time system data from any web-enabled device, leading the way to cloud-based hosting and integration with multiple agencies and jurisdictions and enabling transportation professionals to proactively manage traffic flow and promote mobility from any location. Best of all, claims McCain, Transparity TMS data collection and control strategies help reduce congestion and harmful emissions, meeting the demands of today’s transportation network head on.

The redesign features a central scheduler, timing editor, customised reporting and real-time traffic monitoring with web-based maps. The Windows-based architecture features a modern, easy-to-navigate tool-bar and enables users to dock and undock windows, setting a new standard for advanced traffic management systems.

According to McCain, Transparity TMS improves roadway efficiency by allowing transportation professionals to proactively manage traffic flow and promote mobility through real-time traffic data collection and management tools

    Hugh Colton, Georgia DOT details move to improve urban traffic control in the Atlanta area. With a significant proportion of traffic using freeways and toll-ways, along with a significant investment in roadway infrastructure, urban arterials are often the poor relation when it comes to ITS investment. Hitherto the primary means of Urban Traffic Control (UTC) has been the ubiquitous traffic signal. Many traffic signals still operate in a standalone mode and traffic detection is often broken, leaving the sign
