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

It then creates performance measures, including information on the times and locations congestion occurs on a roadway. A new version of the software has been deployed at more than fifty intersections managed by the Minnesota Department of Transportatio

    Like many others, the authorities in Argentina implemented ITS to improve road safety – but this case was a little different to most as Mauro Nogarin explains. The 70km of highway that separate Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires from the city of La Plata had long been considered too dangerous for anyone to make the trip with a private car. Figures on criminal attacks and vandalism with stones, nails, logs, spark plugs or any other element that can damage a car’s tyres and cause them to stop in order rob th

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.
