Despite the ongoing war, the country is moving ahead with contractual reforms for road works in line with western European norms, according to UNITE, the Ukrainian Infrastructure Association, a non-government agency.
Telent Technology Services has been awarded a major eight-year traffic signals and ITS maintenance contract for England’s Essex county.
The award was given to Telent, a UK-based company, by the contractor Ringway Jacobs on behalf of the Essex Highways Partnership. The deal will include maintenance of 231 traffic signal junctions, 262 traffic signal crossings, four emergency wig-wag lights, 30 car park count sites, 48 car park guidance Variable Message Signs (VMS), 17 vehicle actuated signs and 398 school
As part of a recent rail investment package, the Department for Transport has ring-fenced a US$100 million fund for safety improvements to level crossings between 2014 and 2019, and Optex has announced that its Redscan laser detector has been specified as part of a new solution to automate signalling and detect whether or not a level crossing is clear from vehicles and pedestrians before allowing a train to pass through.
