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.

    McCain scoops San Francisco controller cabinet order
    Known for its high foot-traffic, congested streets and short blocks, the flow of pedestrian traffic plays a major role in San Francisco’s transportation network. Traffic controller maintenance adds to the problem where the cabinets have single front doors that obstruct pedestrian walkways, restricting the flow of foot traffic, and often forcing rerouting and delays. That’s about to change; the City has awarded McCain a contract for the supply of traffic controller cabinets, including the City’s first-ti

    Real time intersection and arterial monitoring
    Would it be beneficial to know if a remote non-interconnected signalised intersection controller was phasing optimally? How about ancillary but critical traffic cabinet devices being operational with an ambient air temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit inside the cabinet? As delegates to the ITS America Annual Meeting will discover at the Eberle Design & Reno A&E booth, for the first time, traffic operations technicians and traffic engineers can now access real-time arterial traffic and intersection informa

    McCain unveils its latest ATC controller
    US-based McCain has introduced the FLeX controller, the smallest in its ATC eX series of transportation controllers. Measuring 140mm tall, the compact controller features include front panel access to data, optional built-in Wi-Fi and a full 16-line display screen with a split-screen option for users operating Omni eX intersection control software. The FLeX controller is available in both shelf- and rack-mount configurations and upgrades any Caltrans or ATC cabinet without cumbersome wiring or programming.
