Sensys launches SDLC interface for TS2 controllers

Sensys Networks’ new FlexConnect synchronous data link control interface (SDLC) module for TS2 traffic signal controllers, provides an SDLC interface between the controller and the company’s wireless vehicle detection system (VDS). Traffic detection events are signalled from VDS to the TS2 controller in conformance with the NEMA TS2-2003 specification and using FlexConnect and eliminates the need for interface cards without requiring available slots in traffic signal cabinets.

119 Sensys Networks’ new FlexConnect synchronous data link control interface (SDLC) module for TS2 traffic signal controllers, provides an SDLC interface between the controller and the company’s wireless vehicle detection system (VDS).

Traffic detection events are signalled from VDS to the TS2 controller in conformance with the NEMA TS2-2003 specification and using FlexConnect and eliminates the need for interface cards without requiring available slots in traffic signal cabinets. The unit supports 64 channels arranged as four racks of 16 channels each (the status of each channel can be displayed on an LED screen on the front panel) and the compact unit can be mounted anywhere in a traffic signal cabinet.

FlexConnect includes a mode that monitors the signal phase data that can be fused with the vehicle detection data to generate 24×7 intersection performance measures which can be used to optimise signal timing, reduce arterial congestion and improve intersection safety.

    According to manufacturer Mobile Mark, its new range of multiband MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) antennas for wireless fleet management systems support all LTE frequencies worldwide, including 700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz and 2600 MHz. The LTM series was designed for wireless applications that combine an LTE MIMO modem with a wi-fi MIMO modem and a GPS receiver, a combination that requires five separate antenna elements. The LTM combines up to five high-efficiency antennas in one compact, surface-mo

    When a company launches a product it never quite knows how that product will be used and what else it may be required to do. Lufft’s mobile weather sensor MARWIS is a prime example. Last winter Lufft introduced MARWIS, its mobile road weather sensor, handing it initially to long-term sales partners to test and improve. What was known was the sensor’s fast reaction rate (up to 100 Hertz), combined with its wide range of measurement information, and would provide users with a gapless overview of the road stat

    August 29, 2012
    New systems of software are coming together to form the technological backbone of a project that will apply practically to one corridor in Dallas, but influence travel across a wider area. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the lead agency for an extensive Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project in Dallas, covering an area stretching north east of downtown Dallas, 20 miles long by two miles wide. The corridor is defined loosely by the US-75 freeway and DART’s light rail ‘red line’. These are the theor

    Integrating control rooms can improve traffic management, security and emergency response without excessive cost or compromising privacy. In the wake of the recent terrorist events in France and Germany where the transport system was exploited with deadly consequences, many governments and agencies are reviewing the security arrangements – particularly around popular and high profile events. Increasing security in transport systems that must remain accessible to the general public will not be easy but in ma
