Yunex Traffic has begun installing 3,000 road traffic controllers in Miami-Dade County, US.
The move is part of a seven-year advanced traffic management system (ATMS) upgrade programme which will also include traffic detection infrastructure.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said: "In a few years, the system will help drivers spend less time behind the wheel during their daily commute and improve the quality of life for our community.”
As well as replacing outdated controllers, Yunex has already deployed its Tactics central traffic control system and will install networked detection devices at signalised intersections throughout Miami-Dade.
The company says Tactics will pave the way for adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) and automated traffic signal performance measures which will allow county engineers to proactively manage and optimise traffic signals and improve traffic flow.
The Tactics system will analyse signalised intersections in near real-time for network optimisation.
“The collaborative and customer-focused approach and adaptation of best practices and lessons learned enabled Yunex Traffic to deliver these milestones despite the challenges of Covid,” comments Nils Soyke, Yunex senior project manager.
“We are modernising our transportation system by deploying technology that moves people and freight more efficiently,” said Eulois Cleckley, director and CEO of the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works.
Yunex is also demonstrating a new smartphone-based bike detection system called SiBike in Miami-Dade, which allows intersections to better detect cyclists for improved mobility and safety.
The firm has also established a new office in the county with a local team of 22 staff, including 15 local hires.
