As part of the agreement, Econolite will install the Smart Mobility Advanced Research Test Center’s (SMARTCenter) traffic control system: this will control signalised intersections, vehicle detection, facility monitoring and wireless connectivity.

The company will install the V2X systems and a dedicated short-range communications network in partnership with its Ohio distributor Path Master.

Brett Roubinek, TRC’s president and CEO, says: “To test connected vehicle systems in a safe, secure, and repeatable real-world environment absolutely demands leading-edge infrastructure and traffic control systems.”

This partnership will provide the traffic management systems to manage connected vehicles when they are deployed on public roads and highways, Roubinek adds.
