regardless of what system level they
interact with: the traffic engineer
module for controller set-up feels the
same as the service and maintenance
module. Equally, the high-level urban
traffic controller GUI with all its
monitoring, reporting and statisticgenerating
functionalities will look
the same as those used in the lower
levels – and all accessed from a

1W signal heads, modern design
Power consumption reduction as part
of environmental protection is very
relevant nowadays. To tackle these
challenges, Cross Zlín has developed
a new generation of signal heads
with minimal power requirements.
These new 1W signal heads, natively
supported by the RS4S controller,
meet all industrial norms, are
environmentally friendly and
simultaneously lower the electricity
bills of its customers, freeing up
their OPEX budgets.
And what functions well can
also look good: these signal heads
received a great deal designer’s
attention to unobtrusively fit in both
modern and historical cities. n

Such control strategies effectively
make the intersection controller
fully autonomous. Naturally,
automated signal plan creation
has its limits; inputs from traffic
engineers are recommended
for more complex situations,
especially for high saturations.
In fact, the adaptive control
can be used in conjunction with
dynamic signal plans created
by traffic engineers, resulting in
a hybrid system that combines the
advantages of both approaches:
superior performance at high
saturation levels thanks to traffic
engineers’ expertise, as well as
adaptive responsiveness to nonstandard
traffic demands.
Modular SW solution
Cross Zlín’s SW modularity employs
the latest web-based technologies
and thus enables a range of use cases:
from large metropolitan areas to
small cities, cloud instances as
well as on-premise installations.
All SW components adhere to
a strict set of GUI (graphical user
interface) design principles. Users
thus get a familiar experience
