Traffic Intelligence Module

Traffic Intelligence Module (TIM) is a compact programmable hardware platform designed for use with traffic signal controllers. It comprises of a processor card and an I/O card. Users can load their own traffic control logic scripts written in Perl onto the processor. These scripts can access data from the traffic controller and detectors and drive outputs or send commands via the TIM I/O card. TIM can also be used as a local data logger to capture traffic data to its microSD card.

The TIM I/O card is available either with 8 inputs & 8 outputs or with 48 inputs and 16 outputs. The TIM unit is supplied with wiring looms to simplify its connection to the controller and it operates from the controller’s own internal power supply using less than 2W.

A sample list of applications where TIM provides a cost-effective solution includes:

• Bus priority and compensation.5
• Customised VA logic
• Control logic using input from advanced detectors providing more than vehicle presence data
• User defined plan switching logic
• Selective vehicle detection and priority
• Custom logic for complex junctions
• Traffic monitoring and real-time alerting
