SCATS and Intelligent Transport Systems

SCATS is a traffic control system designed to optimise traffic flow. Intelligent algorithms process real-time data to adapt traffic signal timings that respond to unexpected conditions, predict traffic patterns and keep traffic moving. The result is a reduction in congestion, shorter journey times and increased safety and productivity.


With global interest in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Smart Cities on the rise, SCATS technology offers innovative solutions designed to meet the demands of future traffic management. Demonstrated expertise and years of data-driven insights combined with a flexible, scalable system model means SCATS is perfectly positioned to integrate into any transport network worldwide.
