Implementing UTMC county-wide across Lancashire

Lancashire County Council (UK) is providing a demonstration site for the latest developments in urban traffic management and control using open architectures and systems. The new open system allows the exchange of data between various applications from different suppliers, bringing new opportunities for traffic managers to meet their objectives. The project is supported by the UK Department for Transport Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) Programme. Further details of the UTMC Programme in general are given in the paper presented by Cartwright (2004) and of the Reading and Warwick demonstrator projects by Leuillette et al. (2004).
