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.

    More than 12,600 street lights on Hertfordshire’s A-roads are being upgraded to LED lighting using Telensa’s PLANet street light central management system (CMS), which will allow the lights to be monitored from a central point. This will reduce inspection costs and make it easier to spot and repair any faults. The system will also allow lighting levels on the A-roads to be reduced during the night, rather than turning lights off completely. Once the new lights are installed, light levels will be reduced
