The SBC-2400 from Zwiesler Resources is a cost-effective traffic control system based on a single-board controller running 170 software. The integrated set of components for advanced traffic control is comprised of a CPU, power board, conflict monitor unit, traffic cabinet, traffic control software and provision for 12V solar power.

Low in cost and small enough to fit in a 30x30x30cm traffic cabinet, the system is based on the SBC-2400 Controller CPU and one or two SSC power boards to control 12 or 24 signal outputs. The CPU board accommodates eight vehicle detector inputs plus five control inputs. The maximum of 24 SSC board outputs are divided equally between two 20-pin box headers, which also bring +12 VDC into the cabinet to power the logic.

According to the company, the system meets worldwide needs for advanced traffic control in the minimum space; in addition, by being able to utilise available 170 software the system can be used for applications other than intersection control, such as ramp metering, sign control and freeway incident management.

    Rich pickings of reduced cost and greater value are up for grabs as highway authorities migrate to new traffic management systems – if they choose their paths wisely. Jon Masters reports. Experience gained and expertise developed over the past decade are informing good advice for transport agencies contemplating new or expanded traffic management systems. Technological projects aimed at reducing road congestion may be frequently unique and invariably complex, but a picture is emerging of sensible, prudent a

    One of the biggest problems facing US ITS professionals, says Georgia DOT's Hugh Colton, is the constrained thinking which is sometimes forced upon those making procurement decisions. It is time, he says, to look again at how we do things. In the November/December 2010 edition of this journal, Pete Goldin interviewed Joseph Sussman, chairman of the US's ITS Program Advisory Committee. Amongst other observations that Sussman made was that, technologically, ITS in the US is 10 years behind that in the world-l
