Urban Traffic Control upgrade for Birmingham
As part of its £2.7bn highways partnership with Birmingham City Council, UK public services
provider Amey has placed another major order with Siemens for an upgrade to the latest
Siemens PC SCOOT Urban Traffic Control (UTC) system. The project will provide Birmingham
with a long term and sustainable intelligent traffic solution and with the installation of a new IP
communications network will significantly reduce on-going operating costs. The existing
analogue data transmission system will be replaced with the latest Siemens UTMC compliant
UG405 outstations.

Tyne and Wear wins funding for better bus routes
A major project by Siemens to upgrade over 160 traffic signal controllers across Tyne and
Wear is set to go ahead following the award of Better Bus Area (BBA) funding from the
Department for Transport to The Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority.
The project aims to improve the reliability of journey times along 19 bus corridors and relieve
congestion at nine hotspots where buses are currently delayed on a regular basis. This will
involve Siemens upgrading and connecting traffic controllers to our Remote Monitoring System
(RMS) and providing the Tyne and Wear Urban Traffic Control Centre with Siemens Dial Up
Strategic Control (DUSC) enabling the efficient monitoring and management of on-street traffic
equipment along key bus corridors.

First new customer for InView
Bournemouth Borough Council has become the first local authority in the country to deploy
Siemens InView, the company's new cloud based fault and asset management system. InView
allows seamless migration from existing Prefect fault management systems and provides a
range of additional and extensive database management and reporting features all based on
a web-browser interface.
Siemens InView has been designed to provide guaranteed security of local authority data and
ease of use through an intuitive user interface and mobile application. Being cloud based, it
also provides customers with much reduced hardware maintenance and communications
costs.
