7435 Reno A&E has launched two intersection malfunction management units (MMU), the RAE MMU2-1600GE and MMU2-1600G, which are compliant with the NEMA TS2-2003 (R2008) standard for Traffic Controller Assemblies.

Both units include an OLED display and a configuration wizard to configure the monitor for standard eight-phase, dual-ring operation using a series of questions. The wizard can set up eight flashing yellow arrow (FYA) types (A-H) plus set up and monitor eight additional FYA types (I-P). It assists users to define and monitor any type of left turn including protected, FYA and PPLT5 and will make recommended settings for: dual indication/field check enabled; per channel red enabled; flashing “Don’t Walk” monitoring; FYA settings; and LED thresholds.

The OLED display allows access to all configuration settings, real-time monitor status, with applicable AC and DC voltages, advanced diagnostic information, all MMU logs including the 12 most current signal sequence log and context sensitive help screens.

The 77 ultra-bright LEDs convey field status information to the user. Each of the 16 channels has a red, yellow and green LED to provide a concise and intuitive indication of the status of all channel inputs. Channels 1 through 12 have a white LED to indicate “Walk” in the Type-12 mode.

    Colin Sowman talks to Terry Bergan of International Road Dynamics about the latest uses of weigh-in-motion systems. Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations

Well-established now in at least three European countries, Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) on motorways is exciting growing interest in the US. A November 2010 Report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the Efficient Use of Highway Capacity, notes the role of HSR in the European-style Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies now being recommended for implementation in the US where, until recently, they were virtually unknown.
