Trafficware will bring to the ITS America Annual Meeting Detroit a major new innovation for traffic engineers and planners. The company has taken a much-anticipated integration step in releasing new versions of its industry- leading ATMS and Synchro Suite Signal Timing and Simulation software.  Synchro Suite is used in more than 90 countries and when combined with the ATMS central transportation management system, deployed in more than 250 agencies around the world, makes life significantly easier for traffic engineers and planners by bridging the gap between the two platforms.

The new software releases incorporate a wizard style interface, allowing agencies using ATMS to share controller database information with Synchro users and for Synchro users to send revised signal timing plans to ATMS. The operator is in complete control of the flow of information - the ATMS user views changes recommended by Synchro, controlling the decision of applying the recommended changes. For traffic engineers, this functionality speeds their ability to manage roadways as they work among two platforms simultaneously.

Trafficware Product Development Director Jeff Cornelius said, “Transportation authorities invest in Synchro and ATMS because they want the latest technology and trust Trafficware to deliver a steady cadence of updates.  Simply, they want confidence their technology will grow with the future of Smart Cities.”

Trafficware will be providing demonstrations of the new ATMS version 2.8 and its many enhancements and features on its booth at the event.

Booth: 310

Existing software for timing traffic signals has several limitations, says Carolina Osorio, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at MIT and lead author of a forthcoming paper in the journal Transportation Science that describes the new system, based on a study of traffic

In light of the concerns about the ongoing security threat and the unprecedented flow of migrants, many of the countries that make up the Schengen Area in Europe have re-introduced border controls. For its part, Sweden has rolled out ID checks for train, bus and ferry passengers from Denmark placing the landmark Øresund Bridge very much on the fr

    Are pre-launch trials of charging systems the way to improve public acceptance? Or is the real key a more robust political attitude? Here, leading system suppliers discuss the issue. The use of distance-based Road User Charging (RUC) is now well established, at least for heavy goods vehicles on strategic roads. However demand management for all vehicles, whether a distance-based charge or some form of cordon scheme, has yet to make significant progress. This is in spite of the logic and equity of RUC being
