Poole, 2014-Feb-27
Siemens UK will exhibit a number of key products from its international portfolio of traffic solutions at Intertraffic 2014 (stand 11.209, 25 - 28 March: Amsterdam RAI), Europe’s top trade event for infrastructure, ITS traffic management, safety and parking technologies.
Sixth generation Siemens traffic controller
The new ST950 traffic controller family will be on show at Intertraffic, over 30 years after the original model redefined junction control in the UK. Building on an unrivalled 70 year traffic engineering heritage and over 30 years' experience of microprocessor-based traffic controller design, the ST950 traffic controller represents the very latest in a long line of proven and highly successful traffic controllers designed and built in the UK by Siemens and already establishing a presence around the world.
The latest generation ST950 controller builds on the success of its predecessors, bringing
a host of new features and new levels of accessibility and safety to the market. Integral
UTMC OTU, 4-stream MOVA 7, easy to follow web style user interfaces and safer
operation are just some of the ST950 highlights.
New for 2014
On show for the first time outside the UK, the company is proud to introduce Stratos -
which represents the future of traffic management. Developed using the latest cloud-
based technology, Stratos delivers scalable real-time traffic management, information and
control, from basic monitoring to strategic control of complex urban traffic environments.
Increased redundancy, flexible deployment models and access anywhere are just some of
the benefits which Stratos brings to traffic managers in addressing the complex needs of
maximising network efficiency whilst minimising operational costs.
Complete range of above ground detectors
Siemens’ complete range of Heimdall above-ground traffic detectors is also represented
on the Siemens stand. Using advanced 24GHz radar technology, Heimdall offers all the
benefits of above-ground detection of both vehicles and pedestrians without the road
surface disruption associated with below-ground systems. The new detectors offer high
performance, simple installation and low on-going maintenance, while Heimdall’s small
size ensures that unnecessary street clutter is minimised.
Cloud-based Low Emission Zone solution
Siemens UK is also exhibiting a cloud-based Low Emission Zone solution at Intertraffic
2014. Following a successful trial in the UK, the solution is a world first and meets an
expanding need in the marketplace globally - helping cities, towns and national
governments to improve the air quality for their citizens and providing an effective tool for
meeting local, national and international environmental and climate change commitments.
The system is scalable, highly secure and significantly more cost effective than any
currently installed system. Visitors to the stand will be able to experience live
demonstrations of the system throughout the event.
Enforcement presentation
At Intertraffic 2014, Siemens also showcases the award-winning SafeZone solution, its
innovative approach to average speed enforcement. SafeZone’s advanced technology
and multiple deployment options make it ideal for average speed enforcement in
residential, city, rural and motorway environments. Using SiCore ANPR cameras,
SafeZone can monitor two lanes of traffic in both directions, significantly reducing the cost
of deployment and system complexity. And with the distance between each camera
outstation approved to a minimum of just 75 metres, average speed enforcement can be
deployed as an effective alternative to existing analogue fixed speed camera sites and for
larger deployment in urban areas.
