VEGA

0 out of 5

Vega is a next-generation traffic controller designed for managing large intersections. In its maximum configuration, it can control up to 64 traffic signal groups. Vega features a fully modular, distributed intelligence architecture, supported by a differentiated bus system that ensures high reliability and safety. The controller is equipped with a powerful CPU that enables real-time processing of traffic data to optimize vehicle flows using advanced algorithms.

GENERAL FEATURES

  • Monitoring of all traffic lights to detect and report individual burned-out lamps
  • Collection of traffic data, both volumetric and classified, through various types of sensors
  • Archiving of alarms, activities, diagnostic information, and traffic data
  • Notification of alarms or programmable events via SMS or Email
  • Autonomous management of one or more intersections with a single device (up to 4 intersections using an additional CPU card)
  • Compatibility with major UTC systems
  • Clock synchronization via GPS, essential for implementing green waves and plan changes
  • Maximum programming flexibility with custom user script functionality
  • Night-time dimmer function for traffic lights (optional)

CAPACITY

  • Management of up to 64 traffic signal groups (192 power outputs)
  • Up to 64 loop vehicle detectors
  • Up to 128 digital inputs
  • Up to 144 digital outputs
  • Up to 20 relay outputs
  • 32 traffic signal plans selectable remotely or locally based on calendar and external events

DIAGNOSTICS

Vega is equipped with a range of diagnostic tools designed to provide useful maintenance information, including:

  • Type of fault
  • Faulty board
  • Loop detector failure
  • Input failure
  • Burned-out traffic light lamp/module
  • Power supply restart or instability
  • Voltage too low or too high

The controller’s diagnostic service allows access to internal variables to examine malfunctions in detail. Support tools include display visualization, log file archiving, and automatic message forwarding to assist in fault detection and troubleshooting.

SAFETY

Vega is equipped with a series of control circuits based on both hardware and software redundancy.
The safety system consists of multiple sensors, processors, and circuits, including:

  • Voltage measurement sensors on traffic light outputs, with redundant reading on the green light output
  • Current measurement sensors on each traffic light output circuit
  • Temperature monitoring of key electronic circuits
  • Independent processor for controlling green and red light conflicts
  • Independent processor on each output control board that performs:
    o Verification of consistency between logical commands and the actual state of traffic light outputs
    o Monitoring of current on each output to ensure correct lamp operation
  • Hardware and software Watchdog controls on processors and microcontrollers
  • CPU board safety checks, including data consistency verification of memory contents.
