Introducing the ATSC4 Traffic Signal Controller, this is the new generation controller developed to the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW (Australia) TCS/4 specification
The ATSC4 is capable of managing up to 32 signal group displays and up to 64 inputs from vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles or emergency services.
Fully SCATS compatible the controller can operate independently in isolated mode, can be connected to SCATS for system operation or in a mains frequency coordinated flexible plan operation mode.
A unique windows laptop interface program provides an extensive, easy to interpret interface to the controller which delivers a comprehensive colour display of the live intersection, communications monitors, lamp switching, detector inputs and has access to all operating and timing functions, including fault reporting.
The ATSC4 is designed for all weather conditions with a vandal proof cabinet and modular construction for ease of maintenance. The controller can operate with a variety of power supply options, with low power consumption. The ATSC4 is capable of managing all types of lanterns including, incandescent, quartz halogen and LED.
This controller has been designed, developed and tested to internationally accepted safety standards, features such as last red and flashing yellow provide added safety during malfunctions.
The ATSC4 has also been developed to operate with UPS systems to provide seamless operation during power disruptions. It has been tested to deliver 1400 watts of power for up to 5 hours with incandescent lanterns and considerably longer when LED lanterns are installed.
Recently ATC developed the Advanced Active Warning System using the ATSC4 logic rack to manage flashing lights when a train is detected approaching a level crossing. The flexibility of the controller was ideal in delivering a new concept in rail crossing management. The ATSC4 backbone allows for monitoring systems and ease of expansion.
