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.

    Said to be the biggest congestion charge scheme to launch in any city, the London scheme got off to a smooth start ten years ago on 17 February 2003, much to the surprise of London's then mayor Ken Livingstone, who ten years later says “it turned out better than I expected.” None of the anticipated pre-7am congestion as drivers attempted to avoid the charge happened, and by the end of the first day 57,000 drivers had paid it. The main problem seemed to be that buses were all running ahead of time and had t

Well, not any more.
