will either get into a learning mode
each time there is a change thereby
showing no count or the timer will end
up showing wrong counts increasing
the confusion rather than eliminating
the dilemma.
To address this issue effectively,
CMS Computer’s Graphic countdown
timers have been upgraded to be
compatible with the fully adaptive
mode. During the adaptive mode of
operation, instead of using the sensing
mechanism to infer on the balance
count, the CMS CDTs are interfaced
with the UCON traffic junction
controller via a communication
protocol. The adaptive traffic
control system software built by
CMS “TraffView” runs the adaptive
algorithm which calculates the new
signal timing plan and this information
is passed on to the CDT which enables
it to display the count even during the
non fixed time mode of operation.
The CDTs also have a wireless mode
of operation.
Thus, with fully adaptive compatible
graphic CDTs, it is ensured that the
purpose of these timers are met
even during actuated modes, which
is extremely necessary with due
consideration of road user behaviours
especially in countries similar to ours.
CMS GCDTs are currently deployed
across several cities including
Mumbai, Vadodara, Vishakhapatnam
among others. Majority of traffic
infrastructure across most Indian cities
use CMS technologies. Over the last
several years, the indigenously built
technologies have kept pace with the
market requirements harnessing the
power of AI, ML, Analytics, Detection
technologies, video management
innovations and IoT.
