McCain releases latest traffic signal controllers

US manufacturer and supplier of intelligent transportation systems, McCain, is claiming that its latest traffic signal controllers effectively bring the open architecture, modular design, and advanced functionality of the Model 2070 controller platform to NEMA TS 1/TS 2 Type 2 and NEMA TS 2 Type 1 applications. Both the 2070EN1 NEMA and 2070EN2 NEMA controllers have been designed to fully comply with the most current specifications from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Transportation E

US manufacturer and supplier of intelligent transportation systems, 772 McCain, is claiming that its latest traffic signal controllers effectively bring the open architecture, modular design, and advanced functionality of the Model 2070 controller platform to NEMA TS 1/TS 2 Type 2 and NEMA TS 2 Type 1 applications.

Both the 2070EN1 NEMA and 2070EN2 NEMA controllers have been designed to fully comply with the most current specifications from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES), and the 7174 National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) TS 2 standard.

Advanced features that enhance the overall operability of the 2070EN1 and 2070EN2 controllers include an integrated 4-port network switch that supports 10/100MBPS, 32MB of system memory and 4MB R2 drive for increased processing power, 32Mb datakey capacity, and two Ethernet ports. 

Although the two new traffic signal controllers will supersede the 2070LN1 and 2070LN2 equipment, McCain says it will continue to support legacy controllers to meet customer demand, providing users with a cost-effective means to upgrade to a more modern infrastructure without the need to replace cabinet hardware.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
