The sophisticated new traffic control system from Fabema allows a wide range of traffic light control options
708 Fabema GmbH is offering a new and more sophisticated solution for monitoring traffic flows, with its FMC-N multi-functional control that can be used during traffic jams, allowing the user to monitor phase changes from a PC.

The unit, for both temporary and stationary use, suits installations with traffic signal systems featuring up to 32 signal groups and 256 signal lamps.

It can be employed in simple or complex traffic-related installations and meets European requirements.

The system is said to offer easy installation due to its twin wire technology and the package is available with open ring/string wiring or prescribed star wiring. It does not require costly distribution apparatus or mast distributors according to Fabema.

The package features intelligent fully monitored LED signal heads and allows the connection possibility of up to three respective independent detectors, switches, induction loops or cameras. It can be operated as part of a network or can be run independently, with either battery, solar or hybrid power.

Features include graphic software for full traffic-actuated programming, and data transfer can be handled by plugging in a USB stick.

The system allows the creation of traffic-related drawings/documentation in a single operation using its own software, and comes with a touch-screen colour display and allows recording, documentation and printing of procedures and signalling conditions in real time.

Other features include unlimited phase options pre-programmed into the control unit, the capability to work with adjacent signal systems or central computers with communications handled by cable or DCF synchronous time signal and remote monitoring through GSM/SMS or wireless GPRS Internet connection.

Options include GPS data analysis, a public transport and emergency vehicle priority feature and push connectors or series terminals. Meanwhile, the modular design is said to allow fast replacement of units when required, while the system also allows traffic lights to be operated remotely.

  • Smart traffic analysis improvements
    June 12, 2012
    Transport and traffic analysis nowadays tends to switch between static analysis modelling for large scale studies and microsimulation for finer grain work, with perhaps the mesoscopic model also finding a place for mid-level. Most producers make software tools at all three levels and increasingly package them together. Spanish firm TSS (Transport Simulation Systems) has gone one better with its latest release Aimsum 7, by giving it the capacity to "zoom in" from a larger scale mesoscopic model to a smaller

    SOSEC, a mobile solar-powered barrier system for work sites, made its UK debut on the M23 motorway. The SOSEC gate – solar and security – is made by Green Gate Access Systems, a subsidiary of Solar Gates UK, which provides and installs solar and mains-powered gates, barriers and access control systems. The system on the M23 provided contractors with a power-free method to slow and control access to the work zone, track who is on site and prevent accidental entry from the public.
