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.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    Every day 185 million vehicles – cars, trucks, school buses, emergency response units - cross one or more of America’s 55,710 'structurally compromised' steel and concrete road bridges, the highest concentration of which are in Iowa (nearly 5,000), Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. Nearly 2,000 of these crossings are located on interstate highways, according to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association's recent analysis of the US Department of Transportation's 2016 National Bridge Inventory.

    Intertraffic visitors are the first to see a new radar detector from Icoms Detection – the Belgian subsidiary of IRD. The pole-mounted unit, knows as the TMA-13X, has a range of 80 metres, identifies up to 32 vehicles (targets) across three or four lanes of oncoming traffic and can monitor the route vehicles follow through an intersection. According to the company, one TMA-13X unit can replace multiple loops (approach and stop line) without any roadworks and it functions regardless of light conditions
