SES America has developed a new, more efficient way to display accurate travel times by collecting data directly from travel time providers such as Waze, TomTom or Google, eliminating the need to rely on a vast network of sensors deployed across a road network. "This is a new concept," said Philippe Perut, president, SES America. "Traditionally, large dynamic signs need to be connected to a larger system. We have a standalone sign that can operate independently. There's less risk and less investment for th

Mitsubishi Electric Visual and Imaging Systems Division is showing its best-selling display wall cube – the 60” Slim Cube – here at ITS America 2016 San Jose. This space-saving cube, an alternative to LCD flat panels, is designed specifically for applications that require near-zero bezel, true 24/7 continuous operation, and a low total cost of ownership. The new VS-60HS12U Slim Cube measures only 20.5 inches deep, which can be more than 40% slimmer in depth than similarly-sized, conventional Mitsubishi E

Leading measurement technology manufacturer Lufft is here at ITS America 2016 San Jose with some new developments as well as the company’s well-established weather sensors and a promise to provide visitors with handson experience of its systems. A major highlight is the return of Marwis, Lufft’s mobile road weather information sensor which was first released in America at the ITSA World Congress in Detroit two years ago. There have been upgrades since then though: the new version being unveiled here is e

Peek is introducing GreenWave for 2070 controllers. The new Linux-based firmware designed for NTCIP traffic signal controllers, is on display at the company's booth at ITS America 2016. GreenWave empowers users to create central systems, closed-loop systems, or simple bit relays to communicate I/O from one intersection to the next. The new firmware (formerly known as NWS Voyage) is compatible with Peek's Spinnaker advanced traffic management system (ATMS), and a variety of other NTCIP compliant centra

The City of Pueblo, Colorado, has chosen Autoscope RackVision Pro 2 (RVP2), from Econolite and Image Sensing Systems, to enhance video detection performance at intersections. Autoscope RVP2 with software version 10.5.0 will enable Pueblo to achieve the upgrade cost effectively by eliminating the need to replace current cameras, as well as using one RVP2 to operate two cameras. The City has ordered 39 RVP2 systems to be installed this year. The City of Pueblo was an early adopter of video detection technol

Western Systems is debuting P-Plus, a new all-in-one signal cabinet with integrated battery backup system (BBS), at ITS America this year. As the transportation industry moves toward requiring battery backup for signals at railroad crossings and intersections where safety is a priority, P-Plus is a cost-effective alternative to the traditional signal cabinet. Western Systems has revolutionized cabinet design by providing built-in battery backup within a standard NEMA cabinet, without increasing the footpri
