About

Traffic Engineer’s Blog is all about Road Traffic Engineering when applied to the road transportation sector.

In particular, this discipline dedicated to disseminating information about road traffic signalling products, how to configure those products and how to integrate those to Adaptive Urban Traffic Control systems such as SCATS, a UTC system developed by the Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

The field of Traffic Engineering also encompases those products that aid and support the urban traffic control system, including advanced warning signs for road users at railway level crossings and backup power systems for Traffic Signal Controllers (or traffic control devices in some parts of the world).

Traffic Signal design will also be discussed as it relates to the method of designing signals (traffic lights) to ensure the most efficient phasing of those signals to ensure the most optimal throughput of traffic at given times of day based on measured traffic volumes.

The methods of measuring traffic volumes is also covered, discussing such items as inductive loops, video detection and magneto detectors to feed traffic data to Traffic Signal Controllers.

The blogger is Sydney based and works with Aldridge Traffic Controllers (ATC) in the design, manufacture and installation of Urban Traffic Control (UTC) SCATS Systems and Traffic Signal Controllers and related products.
