Dynniq has been awarded a contract to deploy an integrated urban traffic management control (UTMC) system for Derbyshire County Council’s new control hub as part of its wider DHART programme.
The project will integrate disparate systems such as CCTV and variable message signs into a single graphical user interface via Dynniq’s UTMC solution, ImCity.
According to Dynniq, this will allow network operators in Derbyshire’s control hub to better monitor and control all connected roadside devices for maximum interoperability providing significant cost savings.
ImCity’s secure platform continuously gathers and analyses both live and historic traffic data from a wide range of sensors across the road network to build a comprehensive and detailed view of traffic behaviour across a road network.
This means that any changes in traffic patterns are identified in real-time, pin-pointed to the exact location via the ImCity interface and operators are alerted to incidents in real time allowing prompt and effective intervention.
Furthermore, this enables operators to better utilise roadside assets to alleviate congestion and keep traffic moving safely and effectively, said Dynniq.
In addition, planned events can be effectively managed as operators can set up traffic management strategies ahead of time, for example setting event signage or varying signal plans to account for different traffic patterns.
These strategies are fully automated, activated based on the event schedule, and are responsive to changing, real time traffic conditions.
