Selected following a tender process, Stratos UTMC will form an integral part of Lancashire County Council’s Future Mobility Platform.

The solution will also provide full visibility of National Highways’ network of signs and displayed messages.
Under the initial three-year contract period, Yunex Traffic’s experienced team will provide ongoing expert support services, with the potential for extensions to the contract term.
