Siemens to present new generation of controllers for traffic management

The more complex traffic situations are at urban intersections, the greater the need for more intelligent control solutions. Siemens presents a new generation of controllers for traffic lights and detectors at the unveiling of Sitraffic sX. Downtimes are reduced and intersection safety increased thanks to brand-new developments in hardware and software.

The new technology allows operators to extend the functions of controllers already deployed in the field by means of remote updates. There is no longer any need to interrupt ongoing operations.

The new Sitraffic smartCore configuration software allows efficient data provision for the sX controller and is easy to use and configure. Intuitive user guidance and integrated logic, which can also be used to create traffic-actuated signal programs, reduces the workload involved in testing and programming and automatically leads to an efficient signal program for controlling traffic flows.

The new Sitraffic sX generation of controllers is internationally compatible and can be extended by adding new modules. It can be extended up to 64 signal groups and 250 detectors. A new 230-volt low-power lamp switch for LED signal heads up to five watts ensures a particularly high level of energy efficiency and satisfies the most stringent requirements demanded for safety in road traffic.
