A traffic controller is an electronic device used to manage traffic flow at intersections by controlling traffic signals. It ensures smooth and safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians by operating based on pre-set time plans or real-time traffic conditions. Modern traffic controllers can function in various modes, including fixed-time plans, flashing mode, and vehicle-actuated settings, making them adaptable to different traffic situations.
This advanced traffic controller supports up to eight fixed-time plans and is compatible with Green Wave Systems, ensuring synchronized traffic flow across multiple intersections. It features green time hold and skip functions for dynamic signal control, reducing unnecessary delays. Additionally, it works seamlessly with standard vehicle loop detectors and microwave radar detectors, optimizing real-time traffic management.
Designed for flexible operation, the controller can function as either a Master or Slave, allowing integration into larger traffic control networks. It includes detector fault sensing and a menu-driven programmable sequence, making adjustments easier through an LCD display and built-in programming keys. Furthermore, it offers 24 digital outputs (extendable) and supports programming via a PC, laptop, or handheld keyboard console, ensuring ease of customization.
With solid-state lamp switching and centralized command and control capabilities, this traffic controller is ideal for urban traffic management systems. Its ability to be centrally controlled makes it suitable for smart city applications, where real-time data and adaptive signal control can significantly improve traffic efficiency and safety.
