8800 Live Traffic Data (LTD), conceived to solve infrastructure deficiencies and to foster the rise of smart mobility, is here at ITS America Detroit with a new feature for its proprietary traffic optimisation software, SigPat (SIGnal Performance Analysis Toolbox) platform.


LTD provides infrastructure optimisation at little cost to cities and without interference with existing traffic operations. In the US, LTD has over 5,000 signalised intersections integrated into its SigPat platform and around 30,000 more are set to go live in 2019.

The platform promotes vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication and provides predictive and real-time data which includes traffic volume, arrivals on green, delays, queue lengths, travel times, vehicle trajectories and space-time diagrams. This data is collected and analysed on LTD’s cloud-based platform and is used by traffic engineers to optimise vehicular transportation, leading to decreased congestion, optimised traffic flow and reduced carbon emissions.

LTD is releasing a new feature as a first step towards using ARID (Anonymous Re-Identification Data). The company now offers travel-time and origin-destination estimation using Wi-Fi/Bluetooth sensor re-identification in intersections not equipped with vehicle detectors. This new feature allows engineers to quantify travel times at signalised corridors with both SPaT (Signal Phase and Timing) and detector data. Visitors are invited to explore LTD’s platform and experience what SigPat has to offer. LTD’s goal is to help traffic engineers and consultants envision how its platform can revolutionise city planning around the world.

    The main cause for work zone crashes is drivers being unaware of the approaching hazard. An off-the-shelf solution is now available and is being demonstrated here, at ITS America Detroit, by Gewi, Here Technologies and iCone. Gewi’s TIC software receives live iCone work zone ITS device data, which is then published through the Here production system. This concept was first demonstrated by Gewi at ITS World Congress in Orlando in 2011. However, the deployment here in Detroit no longer involves prototypes, b

Perhaps the single most important trend in the control room environment over the last 12-18 months has been the accelerated move towards the adoption of flat-screen Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology. Having made their presence felt in the home environment, where they continue to replace outdated cathode ray tube-based technology, LCDs have reached the point where their perfor

  • Ramp metering delivers - again

    Though still controversial, ramp metering, which has been around for nearly 50 years, continues to deliver substantial benefits, and generally for relatively small cost. Kansas City is a case in point. In March 2010, Kansas City Scout, a partnership between the Missouri and Kansas Departments of Transportation to provide ITS for the greater Kansas City Area, activated the first ramp metering system in the region. The project is located on an 8.85km (5.5 mile) section of Interstate 435 from Metcalf Avenue to
