Human Machine Interfaces for Traffic Light Displays

Project Introduction:
Like many countries, the Netherlands continues to grow more concerned with its density of vehicle traffic as the number of motorists increases. Creating traffic flow installations that ensure safe, efficient and environmentally friendly traffic and mobility is the day to day business of our customer, who is a market leader in conceiving and realizing mobility solutions as a systems developer, systems integrator, and service provider. Working closely with our customer we searched for creative and functional solutions to improve their traffic control systems

System Requirements: An integrated approach is necessary to keep traffic moving: to combat traffic-jams, keep cities liveable and to streamline the flow between cities and motorways. Having detailed information about communication and traffic systems for urban road networks and road systems, plus the capability to connect together different systems, guarantees a successful integrated approach at all levels. Moreover, with the intelligent control panels supplied by Advantech, our customer can easily make alterations without onsite complications.

System Description:
A traffic control system consists of a central processor, which has online connection with the control processor to detect conflicts and check all instructions. Items such as evacuation times, light conflicts, security sequences per signal group, the power supply, and defective LED lights can be monitored. Furthermore, with the intelligent control panel, users can easily make alterations without complications. The program will check the setup, and the user has a clear view of the traffic conjunctions on the graphic panel. Because this system is operated in outdoor environments, a transflective solution was also required.

Conclusion:
The robust fanless TPC-1250H is a perfect solution for this market. The open Windows operating platform ensures our customers can easily integrate more intelligence and value-added services for end users. Moreover, the unique transflective solution Advantech provides makes work easy even when operating in direct sunlight.
