Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) has been awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to install advanced traffic management technologies for the city of Merida, Mexico.
Cubic has partnered with urban mobility technology company Vixionere to deploy the Trafficware ATMS central transport management platform, controllers and transit signal priority software, which utilises and is integrated with Cubic’s NextBus real-time platform, at all project intersections.
Cubic will also install the SynchroGreen Adaptive Signal Control module at over 50 intersections.
“We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Vixionere and the city of Merida, Mexico to build its transportation management infrastructure as it becomes a part of the next generation of smart cities,” said Joe Custer, vice president and general manager of Trafficware, Cubic Transportation Systems.
“The Trafficware-NextBus solution designed for Merida is ideal for transportation agencies around the world that are looking to work smarter and integrate multiple modes of transportation to improve the utilisation of their roadways and transportation networks.”
According to CTS, Trafficware ATMS offers a powerful tool for monitoring and controlling an agency’s traffic control and ITS infrastructure.
It brings traffic network data into a single repository for a real-time, integrated view of traffic operations.
The interface will use Cubic’s NextBus real-time bus positioning information to give signal priority to transit vehicles.
By utilising NextBus’ predictive bus stop arrival software, the system will analyse whether the transit vehicle is ahead or behind schedule and will appropriately manage the signal to ensure the transit vehicle maintains its schedule.
Trafficware’s SynchroGreen Adaptive Signal Control is designed to reduce delay and travel time by adjusting signal timing plans in real-time based on current traffic conditions.
