1134 Siemens says it is adding further performance features to its sophisticated Comet UTMC traffic management and information system. This technology now includes the complete integration of journey time monitoring (JTM) and can be linked directly to ANPR cameras. This development allows the latest generation of Comet equipment to monitor the network performance and improve the integration of urban traffic management information.

The firm says that the new Comet UTMC system allows network managers to monitor long term trends in network performance more easily, while data can be used by operators to improve day-to-day network management. In addition the JTM module can now be used to create and update Origin-Destination matrices within the system to provide the ability for accurate modelling of traffic flow patterns and providing information to micro-simulation tools. Another new tool within Comet allows detailed reporting and analysis of data stored within the UTMC database.

Network journey times, car park usage and congestion levels are just some of the parameters which can be analysed in real time, as well as being measured against performance levels for effective analysis of the network.
