Siemens’ Sitraffic sX certified as SCATS-compatible

First published at ITS World Congress - October 22, 2019

Siemens Mobility’ traffic light controller Sitraffic sX has been certified as compatible with Sydney’s urban traffic control system SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System).

Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), the road infrastructure agency for Australia’s state of New South Wales, and which owns SCATS, granted Siemens certification after a substantial period of integration development and testing.

According to the company, its Sitraffic sX traffic light controller has been tested and evaluated by RMS as being functionally operational with SCATS.

The official hand-over of the Certificate from RMS to Siemens Mobility took place during a ceremony at the ITS World Congress in Singapore at Siemens Mobility booth.

“The sX incorporates ultra-modern modular hardware and innovative software – a combination that future-proofs this traffic management technology,” says Markus Schlitt, CEO of Siemens Mobility Intelligent Traffic Systems.

Urban traffic control systems, such as SCATS, aim to optimise traffic flow within a city, increasing the efficiency of the road network and reducing the environmental effects of traffic.

Through sensors and detectors on the road, as well as traffic signal controllers, SCATS can respond to the demands of the road network in real time.
