Cubic will be exhibiting the following solutions at stand E70:
- Cubic Transport Management Platform: The Cubic Transport Management Platform is a cloud-based ITS data integration management solution. The first of its kind, this solution is built on a flexible and scalable platform that allows for the continued operation of legacy systems while reducing costs of operation.
- In-vehicle Enforcement: The "in-vehicle enforcement system" is a next-generation solution to speed enforcement. The solution, housed completely within vehicle, is able to capture speeding motorists both approaching and/or receding from the moment the enforcement vehicle leaves the depot.
- Distracted Driver Enforcement: The "distracted driving" system is situated on an elevated position over a live lane and monitors the driver's hand positions while they are driving. The system uses a purpose developed algorithm to determine whether or not the driver is using a mobile phone and if it believes that they are, a photograph is taken of the driver and registration number of the vehicle.
- Connected In-Vehicle Information System: delivering in-vehicle signage known as Virtual Variable Message Sign (VMS) using standard cellular communications and equipment installed and available in production cars. A series of Virtual VMS messages will be presented in real time as the vehicle travels the course, demonstrated by a live video feed to the car.
- GRIDSMART System: The GRIDSMART System is the world's most trusted and only field-tested, single-camera system that gathers and interprets important traffic data. GRIDSMART empowers traffic engineers to adjust signal timing and traffic flow strategies and enables real-time monitoring and visual assessment.
Cubic's GRIDSMART System was shortlisted for the Intelligent Infrastructure Challenge, an open competition for industry that showcases innovative ideas using intelligent infrastructure and associated transport technologies to solve the key challenges facing UK transport. Jeff Price, vice president and general manager of GRIDSMART, will be presenting in front of a panel of judges during the conference.
