The 1688 Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has recreated its Southeast Michigan Traffic Management Center (Booth: 2027) at 2014 6456 ITS World Congress. The center is recognised as one of the most innovative TMCs in the U.S., having to deal with a complex multi-modal transportation network on the border of Canada.
Traffic management administrators will monitor traffic in real time and field real calls on the showroom floor as part of their daily operations in Detroit. Attendees will be able to interact with monitors set up in the temporary center, seeing how MDOT responds to congestion and incidents on the city’s streets.
Local, county, state and federal officials will also showcase how they coordinate with partners such as Amtrak and the 4273 Ministry of Transportation Ontario.

The Lt365R USB 3.0 CCD camera from Lumenera runs at 53fps at full resolution or 66fps at an HDTV resolution of 1,920 x 1,088. It takes advantage of Lumenera’s memory buffer technology which ensures that frames are not lost while running the camera at the sensor’s maximum output. Lumenera states that the Lt365R runs at twice the speed of other USB 3.0 cameras on this image sensor.
In an industry that prides itself on continual innovation, Measurement Specialities is at Intertraffic quietly celebrating 25 years of its hugely successful Roadtrax BL piezoelectric axle sensor.
Installed in 65 countries across six continents, the sensor continues to enjoy sales growth of nearly 10% a year and the firm’s team see no reason why the product won’t have another 25 years life in it.
