The first release of the all-new Stratos outstation has now been launched by 189 Siemens. Based on a powerful new platform, the new outstation initially provides UTMC OTU functionality for use with Stratos and all existing Siemens UTC applications which support UTMC communications.

According to Siemens, the first phase of the Stratos outstation development provides UTMC OTU and MOVA functionality in a similar way to that provided by the Gemini 2 UTMC OTU which it replaces, while this initial release is part of the ongoing progression towards providing fully-featured Stratos outstation functionality in line with the continued development of the company’s cloud-based strategic traffic management system.

Stratos outstation functions will be provided by a single outstation platform, meaning it will no longer be necessary to use different platforms for UTMC control or remote monitoring applications, providing a cost-effective implementation on-street, whilst minimising the requirement for large spares holdings and simplifying maintenance requirements.

    Asfinag’s Manfred Harrer and Peter Meckel talk to Jason Barnes about the organisation’s first steps towards C-ITS deployments - and why ITS-G5 will be the underpinning standard For quite a number of years, it was assumed that the connectivity required for cooperative ITS (C-ITS) applications and autonomous vehicle (AV) operations would be catered for by a bespoke communications solution/protocol. This would provide localised ad hoc communication in a manner similar to Wi-Fi, and the dedicated bandwidth/n

    In the UK, the necessary radio spectrum has been identified and standardised technology developed to allow cost effective wireless communication between cars, devices and other ‘machines’. This by Professor William Webb. A world free of traffic congestion, with intelligent systems directing vehicles and alerting drivers to free parking spaces may sound a far off fantasy to motorists stuck in seemingly endless queues on the outskirts of London. Yet this is a scenario not confined to the world of science fict
