Winner Most Technically Insightful Paper: While the safety and core functions traffic signals controllers are defined through
European and UK standards and the UK has standards for network and systems
operation, currently there are no UK equivalents for the disposition of signalised sites, the site-specific control information, nor live data from controllers. The DCIS project is addressing these areas. MAPEM is a defined European standard for site topography. However, due to the nature of the source material, implementing MAPEM data files is not simple. Standardising site
plans can substantially ease automated MAPEM generation and improve confidence in their accuracy. Similarly, methods for site-specific configuration of signal-controlled sites are manufacturer dependent. The creation and management of a standard for the
presentation and publication of this data supports many use cases and provides a structure for the live reporting of controller data for consumption by network services and related users up to and including autonomous vehicles.
