In our latest edition of Infrastructure Magazine, we took a closer look at an intelligent transport systems trial taking place on Sydney’s busy streets. The trial is utilising SCATS Cit-e, a software solution which provides vehicle-to-infrastructure communication between intelligent traffic systems and Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV). SCATS Executive Director at Transport for NSW, Adele Beachley, said that the Cit-e software developed by SCATS aims to make drivers move more efficiently and more safely. “This vehicle-to-infrastructure technology aims to save lives by feeding data about pedestrians, cyclists, other motorists and traffic light signal changes from specially equipped junctions to vehicles fitted with a radio receiver,” Ms Beachley said. “As vehicles approach the traffic lights, Cit-e can send messages about the intersection’s layout, right of way, timing of signal changes and warnings of imminent hazards – including vulnerable road users such as pedestrians crossing part of the junction.” To learn more, read the full article at the link below.
