TrafficFlow Manager helps congestion

Information Display Company, a developer and manufacturer of radar speed sign technology, has launched TrafficFlow Manager, a driver alert display which works with traffic signal timing to alleviate traffic congestion. When mounted along a route with timed traffic signals, the display informs drivers that the lights are synchronised and lets them know the proper speed to maintain in order to avoid having to stop for a red light.

Information Display Company, a developer and manufacturer of radar speed sign technology, has launched TrafficFlow Manager, a driver alert display which works with traffic signal timing to alleviate traffic congestion. When mounted along a route with timed traffic signals, the display informs drivers that the lights are synchronised and lets them know the proper speed to maintain in order to avoid having to stop for a red light.

TrafficFlow Manager is a programmable electronic sign which can be connected directly to the signal controller or manually set to display a predetermined speed at specific times of the day or days of the week. An optional GPS timer receiver ensures synchronisation between the display and the signal controls. The electronic sign can also be set and controlled remotely from a central office using either a cellular modem or Ethernet connection.

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
