Operational and system support at every level you might need, from route and junction monitoring to full strategic traffic control and network optimisation.’
Service Operations Centre
To be launched at Traffex 2015, Siemens new Service Operations Centre is a dedicated traffic management and support service which brings together the company’s existing Field Service Contact Centre, Systems Support and its Poole-based Consultancy Services team into one location. Featuring Stratos, our cloud-based traffic management solution, and Hosted Traffic Management, the development is designed to enhance customer service with the capability to remotely manage local authority road networks including monitoring key routes and junctions, strategic traffic control and network optimisation - all from a single facility.
Solutions for Intersection Control
Building on the success of the sixth generation ST950 intersection controller launched at Traffex in 2013, Siemens is demonstrating a host of new controller features this year including the innovative and unique speaking controller capabilities. In addition, a new Pedestrian Countdown at Traffic Signals unit and a new cycle detection system will be unveiled at the show. WiMag Cycle Detection uses in-ground, low-power, wireless detectors and microwave radar technology to identify and count bicycles of all types, including those constructed from carbon fibre. The solution complements the company’s existing WiMag, loop and radar detection solutions.
