About SCOOT
Alongside our UTC, our demand responsive SCOOT® kernel eliminates the need for you to control your network with complex signals plan based on traffic data which becomes outdated as soon as it is collected and analysed. This outmoded way of producing signal plans is not only heavily time-consuming, but also produces plans with corroding efficiency. Coordinating the operation of traffic signals in an area to provide good progression of vehicles through a network ensures road users’ time is opimisied. By responding intelligently and continuously as traffic flows change and fluctuate throughout the day, SCOOT® also removes the dependence on costly, less sophisticated signal plans.

NoTraffic
NoTraffic has developed the first AI-powered traffic signal platform that connects road users to the city grid, solving today’s traffic challenges while unlocking smart mobility benefits for the cities, and creating an entirely new way of life. Deploying the platform transforms any traffic signal into a smart infrastructure capable of understanding the complete traffic picture and responding in real time to all road users including detection and segmentation of bikes, cars, buses, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles. Cities use the cloud dashboard to define policies such as transit priority corridors or bike & pedestrian safety. AI software intelligently implements these policies at each traffic signal, operating intersections in real-time to autonomously manage an entire city grid based on actual demand, customized service for every type of user to cut congestion, reduce emissions and prevent accidents.

MotorGraph
MotorGraph has been developed by TRL to provide managers and operators with timely and relevant information about the network. The technologies used to aid efficient operation of the road network include the Motorway Incident Detection and Automatic Signalling (MIDAS) system and Managed Motorways. MotorGraph is a key tool in assessing the performance of these systems. MotorGraph provides plots for all major stretches of motorway across England that have traffic detection and signalling installed. This unique facility provides all available real-time and historic data in one place, allowing users to access and interpret information about all systems on instrumented motorways. The live and historic information provided by MotorGraph allows licenced users to assess and track operational performance of control systems on motorways; monitor live and historic traffic patterns; optimise traffic control systems and identify sources and causes of congestion.

Siemens SCOOT
SCOOT is a proactive system, meaning that it adjusts traffic signal parameters in real-time to serve traffic that is approaching an intersection. Other systems base adjustments on measurements of departing traffic, meaning timing changes are implemented too late to be fully effective. SCOOT has at its heart an on-line traffic simulation model which tests a range of possible timing changes in real-time and chooses the most effective adjustment. Other systems make changes based on parameter thresholds, such as volumes or arrivals on green. This allows only one possible adjustment and it is not tested for effectiveness in advance. SCOOT fully optimizes cycle length, splits, and offsets on every cycle by making small controlled adjustments. Other systems make larger adjustments at much longer intervals (up to every 10 minutes) and some do not optimize cycle length at all. This makes them far less responsive to rapidly changing traffic conditions.
