Adaptive traffic control system for communities
About Siemens SCOOT
SCOOT is a proactive system, meaning that it adjusts traffic signal parameters in real-time to serve traffic that is approaching an intersection. Other systems base adjustments on measurements of departing traffic, meaning timing changes are implemented too late to be fully effective. SCOOT has at its heart an on-line traffic simulation model which tests a range of possible timing changes in real-time and chooses the most effective adjustment. Other systems make changes based on parameter thresholds, such as volumes or arrivals on green. This allows only one possible adjustment and it is not tested for effectiveness in advance. SCOOT fully optimizes cycle length, splits, and offsets on every cycle by making small controlled adjustments. Other systems make larger adjustments at much longer intervals (up to every 10 minutes) and some do not optimize cycle length at all. This makes them far less responsive to rapidly changing traffic conditions.
SynchroGreen
The SynchroGreen® adaptive traffic control system optimizes signal timing for arterials, side streets, and pedestrians through real-time adaptive traffic control. Trafficware’s field-proven solution is designed to reduce motorist travel time, delays, and stops. SynchroGreen maximizes the use of available roadway capacity, while also decreasing fuel consumption and reducing idle times that reduce emissions. The SynchroGreen adaptive system was designed from the ground up by Trafficware and Naztec, two companies with decades of experience in the traffic industry. Thousands of traffic engineers around the globe use Trafficware’s Synchro Studio to simulate and optimize traffic. The Naztec ATMS.now central management software is utilized by 200 cities across the U.S. to manage and control thousands of intersections. Together, this depth of experience provides a reliable and effective foundation to understand the complexity of optimizing traffic signal operations.

SCOOT
Alongside our UTC, our demand responsive SCOOT® kernel eliminates the need for you to control your network with complex signals plan based on traffic data which becomes outdated as soon as it is collected and analysed. This outmoded way of producing signal plans is not only heavily time-consuming, but also produces plans with corroding efficiency. Coordinating the operation of traffic signals in an area to provide good progression of vehicles through a network ensures road users’ time is opimisied. By responding intelligently and continuously as traffic flows change and fluctuate throughout the day, SCOOT® also removes the dependence on costly, less sophisticated signal plans.

SWARCO
SWARCO has many years of experience in the field of modern traffic management and helps cities & communities around the world to make their transport systems more efficient, reduce emissions and improve the overall quality of life for citizens. Modern traffic management is not limited to the improvement of traffic flow and traffic safety but takes a holistic view of mobility. With the increasing use of digital technologies and real-time traffic data analysis, we are in the midst of a paradigm shift. Since the beginning of traffic management almost 300 years ago, two main problems have always had to be overcome, congestion and road safety. They remain to be an issue to this day. Modern traffic management solutions monitor and control different types of traffic using digital technology. Traffic management systems are not only intended to increase traffic flow and safety, but also to solve other problems such as air pollution, noise, environmental impact, etc.
