WBC110 remains one of the largest controllers in range

Video wall specialist Ultimate Visual Solutions has launched a new generation of its Lucidity controllers for traffic control rooms.

UVS said that the expanded range of controllers is faster and more powerful, using latest CPU - central processing unit - processing power.

The relaunched Lucidity range includes a new three-slot WBC30 controller with an i9 processor, ideal for smaller systems requiring physical inputs.

A new five-slot WBC50 controller has the powerful Xeon W3 processor and 64GB RAM. UVS said that this is ideal for medium-sized configurations requiring the processing of more web pages and physical inputs.

The WBC10 controller becomes the WBC10-W3, with the more powerful Xeon W3 processor and 64GB RAM. 

The WBC70 becomes the WBC70-W3, with the more powerful Xeon W3 processor and with 128GB RAM, this is a very powerful controller for multi-inputs and outputs and large quantities of web pages.

The WBC90 and WBC110 remain the largest controllers in the range, with huge expansion capabilities and with the latest upgrades they have moved from 7th Gen i7 to 12th Gen and DDR4 RAM to DDR 5.

All WBC controllers, except the WBC90 and 110, have moved to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. The WBC90 and 110 are currently Windows 10 LTSC 2021.  

UVS said that the WBC40 model will be phased out over time. However, the company will support all existing installations and maintain service stock.

“Lucidity has been an incredibly popular solution for our clients and partners since it was first launched in early 2019,” said Steve Murphy, managing director of UVS. “But the demands of modern control rooms mean we have decided to enhance and add to the range of controllers we offer while ensuring that our high standards remain for the service and maintenance of existing installations.”

Traditional head units are being joined by virtual instrument clusters and HUDs in providing drivers with information relating to navigation, on-board audio and inputs from ADAS systems. These displays will demonstrate strong growth, with the proliferation of connected vehicles requiring adaptable and reconfigurable visual interfaces. There a

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
