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.

    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

    Sensys Networks is here at ITS America Detroit to highlight solutions to address intersection safety - 40% of crashes, 50% of serious collisions, and 20% of fatalities occur in intersections. Unfortunately, many cities currently rely solely on historical crash data, hardly a systematic way to analyse and manage potentially harmful traffic situations. To help increase intersection safety, Sensys Networks is automating accurate and actionable safety data, and teaming with Verizon to do so. SensTraffic, the

    An extensive hybrid communications network in the County of Los Angeles is proving the capability and benefits of modern wireless technology for traffic management across wide areas. Wireless communications technology has found a welcoming test bed for use in traffic management systems, in the County of Los Angeles. The county has long running programmes synchronizing and monitoring traffic signals over large areas. In the process, combined with installation of advanced traffic management systems (ATMS), th
