4220 Activu Corporation, a leading provider of IP-based visualisation and collaboration solutions for mission-critical command and control centre environments, has announced that its solution has been selected by the 4503 Florida Department of Transportation (FDoT) for integrated traffic management operations across multiple fixed and mobile locations in District Two.

Encompassing 12,000 square miles in north-east Florida with major cities such as Gainesville and Jacksonville, a combined population of 1.9 million residents and roadways with over 8,200 lane-miles, District Two has a main traffic management centre (TMC) at its urban office in Jacksonville, Florida, a satellite operation co-located at the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) dispatch office to coordinate incident response with FHP troopers and a third location at one of FDOT’s maintenance facilities. As a result, one of the District’s primary TMC requirements was to install a single visualisation and collaboration solution that would seamlessly interconnect all three centres so operators at each location could view and share the same information and visuals simultaneously and have the right collaboration tools to exchange ideas and make effective decisions.

    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in

    Local authorities and communities must understand the impacts of the new mobility options and regulate to get the transport systems they want, according to a new report. Colin Sowman takes a look. Outside of the big cities plagued with congestion, the existing transportation system(s) often cope adequately, and the ongoing workload (maintenance, safety…) is more than enough to keep local transport authorities busy. Is it, therefore, a good use of public service employees’ time to keep abreast of the raft

The UN’s September 2014 Climate Summit has added fresh momentum to the drive to increase urban electric vehicle (EV) takeup. It has launched the Urban Electric Mobility Initiative, which wants to see EVs accounting for 30% of all urban travel by 2030, and make cities worldwide more friendly to their use. Encouragingly, the plan is being well supported by commerci
