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.

    For many, Ethernet- and IP-based networks are the cast-iron solution to ITS's communications needs. However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre

    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

    Road authorities have a lot to gain from high-resolution traffic data, argues Pravin Varaiya. Traffic engineers have traditionally been forced to operate with limited data regarding the performance of their arterials. Traffic studies are often commissioned once every three years, over a few days, to get an updated estimate of utilization.

    Hybrid communications to variable message signs increase resilience to natural disasters and enable deployment in remote areas, as Alan Allegretto explains. Variable Message Signs (VMSs) are a common sight and a well-proven means to improve public safety on our roads and highways. ITS professionals rank the VMS as second only to interoperable radios as the most important technology to improve effectiveness during emergency incidents and evacuations. Ironically, however, current systems suffer from one criti
