Santiago’s Traffic Control Operations Unit Executive Secretary, Fernando Jofré, described the upgrade to PC SCOOT as both successful and uneventful. “The transition was seamless, an encouraging sign for the future. Upgrading to eight PC servers and the latest Windows-based platform will help us increase network efficiency as well as the operation of Santiago’s Traffic Control Operations Unit,” Jofré said.
PC SCOOT offers users numerous benefits, coupling the proven performance of SCOOT adaptive control with the cost and other associated with the PC platform. The system, which includes all the major features of the Siemens UTC/SCOOT, monitors traffic in real-time, optimises traffic signal operation and adjusts the signal timings to match prevailing conditions, thus increasing network efficiency.
Serving a population of six million people in Chile's capital city, the Santiago PC SCOOT system is the largest Siemens UTC system currently installed, underlining the robustness and scalability of the solution.
