The Connected Vehicle Professional™ (CVP) Credentialing Program

The Connected Vehicle Professional™ (CVP) Credentialing Program is a comprehensive education and certification curriculum collaboratively launched between the Connected Vehicle Trade Association (CVTA) and The Next Education. The CVP Credentialing Program helps professionals build a valuable skill set and increases professional credibility in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Community. The CVP is a vendor-neutral credentialing […]

GUIDE: Evaluating and Upgrading Your Traffic Communication Infrastructure

Whether you are auditing current traffic department telecoms or considering improvements and upgrades, there is a lot to consider. Hardware technology and systems have evolved dramatically over the years, and many agencies are working with outdated equipment and/or hybrid systems. And while a system might be working just fine, failing to understand the true cost […]

Reducing Nighttime Pedestrian Crashes with Overhead Lighting

It’s increasingly dangerous to be a pedestrian in many parts of the country, and especially at night. 75% of pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. happen at night.   In the decade leading up to 2019, the number of pedestrian fatalities that occurred during the daytime remained relatively flat, while the number of nighttime pedestrian fatalities […]

How to Prevent Red Light Runners

In 2017, 939 people were killed in collisions caused by motorists running red lights—a 10-year high. One year later, the number was down, but not enough. On average, two to three people are still killed every day by red light runners, and another 139,000 people are injured. Agencies across the country are pursuing the best […]

FAQ: C-V2X and 5G Updates for Connected Vehicles

Q: What is 5G? A: Simply put, 5G is short for “5th generation” for the cell-based systems defined by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). You may also see the standard called 5G-NR (the NR stands for “new radio”). If the earliest mobile network—analog voice calls, no SMS, no mobile data or browsing—was the first generation, […]

School Zone Safety Guide: Signs, Beacons, Markings, and How to Get Funding

Roadways in and around school zones are, unfortunately, a dangerous place for pedestrians—including children. The Transportation Research Board reports that, every year: 25,000 children are injured in school zone accidents. 100 children, or more, are killed in collisions while walking to or from school. Children aren’t the only victims. 80% of pedestrians hit by a […]

TACTICS Advanced Traffic Management for Today’s Smart Cities

In today’s technologically advanced world, traffic management should be easy. Monitoring and adjusting traffic signals should no longer be a manual, onsite process. Instead, your agency should have a big picture insight to your traffic system from one dashboard and be able to configure traffic flow as needed from one central place. TACTICS by Yunex […]

12 Traffic Grants You Need To Know About

Grants can play an essential role in helping you get funding for your ITS projects. From increasing safety to reducing traffic, these projects require funding to improve the quality of life in your community. Sorting through all of the grants out there can be frustrating and time-consuming. To help streamline the process, we’ve put together […]

Make Data-Driven Decisions with Automated Signal Performance Measures

Automated traffic signal performance measures (ATSPM) are taking traffic engineering into a new era. The capabilities of both hardware and software solutions have caught up with the needs of a modern agency and are enabling an objective and performance-based approach to signal performance measures(SPM). Jason Spencer, Territory Manager for Western Systems, recently walked through a […]

Alpha line interactive UPS: Keep traffic moving safely

About 40% of traffic accidents across the country happen at intersections. ITS equipment especially integrated, smart systems—make intersections safer for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, but even the best systems need backup power. In two of our recent webinars, Keep Traffic Moving Safety and Discovering the User Interface & Functionality of Alpha Battery Backup we detailed […]

Optimize Traffic Monitoring with Siqura Cameras

From side streets to large intersections, a variety of safety and monitoring concerns happen on the road every day. Placing detection sensors throughout your traffic system is a great start to gaining insight on your traffic behavior, but not enough to tell the full story. Eyes on the road can go a long way in […]

Smarter Bicycle Detection and Traffic Efficiency

Bicycle traffic is on the rise across the U.S, and especially along the west coast. Nationwide, the sale of bicycles was up 50% YoY in March, and businesses across the country are actually experiencing a shortage of bicycles. The COVID-19 epidemic has left many people in search of safe recreation, exercise, and commuting options. Gyms […]

Connected Vehicle Technology with Yunex Traffic Roadside Units (RSU’s)

Connected devices are nothing new in the twenty-first century. With the Internet of Things (IoT) on the rise, we are familiar with voice assistants, security systems, thermostats, even toasters communicating with us wirelessly. It should then come as no surprise that connected cars are no longer a vision of the future but a smart, attainable […]

Fuel Cell Technology

What It Is and How It’s Revolutionizing Backup Power for Traffic Signals A dark intersection is every agency’s nightmare. Even as you think about it, you can probably picture one or two intersections that would create serious traffic problems if they went dark for an extended period of time. Most agencies do their very best […]

Make your Traffic Intersection Smart with Yunex Traffic Peer-to-Peer Functionality

Think of peer-to-peer like a social media network. A user on a social media platform follows another user in order to receive their posts within their feed in real-time. In a similar manner, a controller within a peer-to-peer network subscribes to another controller in order to receive real-time event communication from neighboring traffic intersections. This […]
