This paper looks at the junction capacity implications of using portable vs temporary signals under UTC control when undertaking junction improvement works. LinSig and VISSIM have been used to demonstrate the benefit of introducing temporary signals at more complex junctions by comparing capacity, journey times, delay, and queueing. Further analysis…

Dr Andy Hamilton provides an update on the development of FUSION – the company’s policy driven traffic management and adaptive control solution that is being developed and tested with Transport for London. Andy shares the latest development status and provides further performance results and insights following the most recent deployments…

Lincoln Road is a main arterial route between Newark Town Centre and the A1 to the east and has an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of 18,300 vehicles. MOVA loop detection would have required ducting installing on the bridge close to the railway and the Overhead Line Equipment (OLE, considered…

Last year Vivacity presented the first results for its ground breaking Smart Junctions pilot project in Manchester. However, as a new product we wanted to take on one of the best control systems in the UK market – MOVA – in as fair and unbiased a trial as we could.…

This paper is based on the experience of deployment of an AI based traffic control support system in Kirklees. It will outline the challenges and opportunities created by introducing a new form of traffic control based on the Simplifai control approach. The points that will be covered will be: How…

This paper describes how Aimsun are using existing infrastructure to provide incident detection and network wide data insights using data science and AI. See the 2022 Presentations on our YouTube Channel

Over the past decade, the traffic systems manufacturers have made great strides in reducing the energy consumption of traffic systems, the switch to modern electronics and LEDs has had a marked impact on electrical consumption of installations. However, in the coming few years, we will need to continue to reduce…

City Science mission is to help cities and neighbourhoods decarbonise and have successfully developed and delivered LCWIPS for numerous authorities around the UK. LCWIPS = Local Cycling and Walking Implementation plans. This presentation will explain the data driven science process we go through to develop and create a LCWIP and…

This paper will look at how collaborative working and the use of intelligent technology is enhancing safety for cyclists and pedestrians whilst also reducing congestion, and therefore improving air quality along the Stoneferry Corridor in Hull. As part of this first of its kind (in the city) multi-million-pound project, headed…

Staffordshire County Council (SCC) won funding to take part in the live labs project, funded by the DFT. They worked alongside Amey, Keele University and the Connected Places Catapult. Over 130 SMEs submitted applications to address mobility and air quality challenges. Colleagues from across the organisations worked together to select…
