A regional authority in England - Lancashire County Council - will introduce a future mobility platform featuring Yunex Traffic’s Stratos Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) cloud-hosted solution.

The system will link to the council’s data platform and a range of external, third-party data providers and sources, including the collaborative traffic management system of the country's main roads authority, National Highways.

Yunex said that the Stratos Strategy Manager module is at the heart of the UTMC solution and will control the council’s existing urban traffic control system. Also included in the scope of the Stratos delivery are the Stratos Disruptions and Driver Information modules. 

These will not only provide a holistic view of accidents, incidents and events on Lancashire’s roads, but allow the planning and monitoring of mitigation actions. The solution will also provide full visibility of National Highways’ network of signs and displayed messages.

Under the initial three-year contract period, Yunex’s team will provide ongoing expert support services, with the potential for extensions to the contract term.

"Across the industry, we're witnessing significant momentum around data sharing, with cities worldwide increasingly adopting integrated platforms to manage all aspects of their smart city operations,” said Wilke Reints, managing director of Yunex Traffic in the UK. 

“Our proven UTMC solutions bring together data from different sources, including network performance data and CCTV feeds from National Highways and other local authorities to generate automated decisions quicky and reliably.”

Plans are already underway for further enhancements of the UTMC core functionality, with floating vehicle, data-based journey time monitoring being just one potential addition to the Stratos Network Performance module.
