For safety on roads of the future, the new CONNECT:ITS System from 8807 MH Corbin is the right tool to communicate advanced warnings in real time.

CONNECT:ITS System is engineered to be a simple-to-use low-power advanced roadside information system. The company, based in Plain City, Ohio,  says that the CONNECT:ITS System can also be scaled up or down for a customised solution based on specific application needs.

Live demonstrations will take place on the MH Corbin stand to show the advantages of CONNECT:ITS as it handles environmental, traffic and pavement data. Its applications include bridge deck icing, low visibility, curve warning, over-height vehicle detection and wrong way detection.

Using data from both MH Corbin and popular third-party sensors, algorithms compute changing roadway conditions in real time. Data is then sorted and distributed to your existing messaging network of HAR systems, dynamic message signs and flashing beacon systems.

Additional outputs can also be used to send data to in-vehicle warning systems via DSRC.

    Hybrid communications to variable message signs increase resilience to natural disasters and enable deployment in remote areas, as Alan Allegretto explains. Variable Message Signs (VMSs) are a common sight and a well-proven means to improve public safety on our roads and highways. ITS professionals rank the VMS as second only to interoperable radios as the most important technology to improve effectiveness during emergency incidents and evacuations. Ironically, however, current systems suffer from one criti

    Unbroken service Technolution's Winifred Roggekamp and Dave Marples describe efforts to upgrade the Westerscheldetunnel's tolling system to give free-flow capability. Until 2003 the Flanders region of Zeeland, in the south-west of the Netherlands, was connected to the mainland only by ferry. The new Westerscheldetunnel, a 6.6km toll tunnel, improves communications with the region considerably, taking some 100km off the alternative road journey. In 2006 it was recognised that the toll plaza for the tunnel ne

    Guillaume Ponsar, tunnel safety engineer with Egis Road Operation, writes about the advantages to be gained from the use of tunnel simulators. Major tunnel disasters over the last decade and more have shown how swiftly and badly a simple crash or fire may evolve should the wrong actions be taken by control room operators or traffic managers. Global safety issues and the reactions of operations staff have now become the principal concerns for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service providers. As a result, n
