A hardware-free signal analytics solution, solving traffic jams before they happen by using real-time modelling, and a new connected magnetometer are among eleven innovative traffic management solutions in the running to win a new award at the popular JCT Traffic Signals Symposium in Nottingham next month.
The ITS UK-sponsored “Most Innovative product or Service at the Exhibition” award features these examples from INRIX, PTV Group and Sensys Networks, and is for a groundbreaking new product showcased at exhibition of more than 30 companies which runs alongside the two-day learned programme.
Other contenders are NAL’s Liftlock composite access cover and frame, Messagemaker
Displays’ MS1 Motorway Signal, an integrated AI solution from NOW Wireless,
smartmicro’s COM HUB edge device, SRL’s Remote Manual Operating System, Smart
Signal Control from VivaCity, an IOT project between Norfolk County Council and
Westcotec and Yunex Traffic’s next generation traffic signal Yutraffic Actis.
The entries will be judged during the exhibition on Wednesday 11 September, with the winner announced on Thursday 12. As well as the industry recognition, the winner gets two seats at the ITS UK Awards in November.
The Symposium, now in its 29th year, welcomes Immense and IRSS as its latest exhibitors joining fellow debutants All Traffic Products, OrangeTek and Sensys Networks alongside long-term participants AGD Systems, ARTSM, Austar Lighting Shanghai, Coeval, FLIR Systems, Hydro, INRIX, ITS UK, LCRIG, Messagemaker Displays, NAL, NOW Wireless, PTV, RTEM, Simplifai Systems, Smartmicro UK, SRL, Starling Technologies, SWARCO, Telent Technology Services, Traffic Group Signals, TRL Software, TRP, Vivacity Labs, Westcotec and Yunex Traffic.

Wednesday’s lunch and refreshments are sponsored by TRL.
