Turkish firm 2520 ISBAK is now offering a high performance traffic light controller that meets European regulations on the world market. The system has been well-proven in the company's home market of Turkey and is now being installed in a number of other countries. The firm has tendered for major traffic control projects in the Middle East and Europe, with sales successes so far in Syria, Iran, Iraq and Greece for example. The system does meet international technical requirements and Sadullah Uzun, trade manager at ISBAK said, "In Turkey we are using European standards."

The company now offers a range of products including control software and traffic lights and Uzun said that the firm offers a complete package to clients, including system integration. In addition, the firm has developed an innovative tracking system that allows local authorities to track road maintenance and service vehicles and even operate functions remotely. At present ISBAK is also working on a sophisticated messaging system to provide information to drivers on traffic congestion and delays using overhead gantries. This system will be proven in Turkey and will then be launched internationally. The company is also working on an advanced navigation software package at present.
