STREAMS optimises the management
of traffic signals by ensuring the routes, intersection groups,
intersections and movements within the surface street network operate
in synergy. It is an adaptive system that automatically responds
to changes in traffic conditions.
STREAMS can support existing traffic signal controllers.
STREAMS could replace many older systems without
any changes to the existing data communications and field equipment
hardware. |
