Traffic signal controller software lies at the very core of the smart traffic control system. By allowing traffic signals to react in real-time to changing traffic dynamics, work in concert with adjacent signals and capture data for analysis, traffic can be managed more effectively in ways never before possible.

New methods of traffic management can have a huge environmental and economic impact on a municipality.

Finally, fewer traffic jams makes for a safer, saner, happier and more harmonious community.

Northwest Signal Supply is committed to providing the best signal controllers and signal controller software in the business.

For example, the ability to keep traffic moving means a reduction in fuel consumption as well as exhaust emissions, and the ability to keep freight moving is good for business.

Voyage Traffic Control Software is NWS's flagship product and was designed from the ground up to be the most powerful, feature-rich

NWS Signal Controller and Software Installation

 

The M1 Advanced Transportation Controller, (ATC) is crafted to move more vehicles and people by providing innovative control tools, such as built-in adaptive control, programmable logic for user-created solutions, complete master control features, plus flashing yellow left turn arrow logic which is easy to program and very powerful.

The M1 ATC hardware, controller firmware and PC software is supported as a whole by Northwest Signal Supply’s experienced and knowledgeable team. No longer is it necessary to call multiple vendors to answer a question.

Electro-Luminescent Display (EL). The most visible aspect of the M1 is the integrated 240x120 electro-luminescent display with simple user interface. The M1 display generates a viewable screen in extreme lighting conditions and is fully operable throughout the NEMA temperature range (-30ºF to +165ºF).

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

 
  • Rugged. The M1 EL display is built for demanding conditions: cold, heat, wind, dust, vibration, sunlight—even g-forces.
  • Reliable. The M1 EL display is field proven in variable environments such as in military tanks and industrial equipment. The EL Display has been proven to retain its luminance after more than 100,000 hours of operation.
  • Visible. The proprietary ICEBrite (Integral Contrast and Brightness Enhancement) technology offers unparalleled text quality in a wide range of challenging visual conditions.

Ease of Use. The M1 separates itself from its competitors by a comprehensive user interface which includes context sensitive help, 30+ dynamic run screens, and card-rack style modules for easy upgrades.

State of the Art. The M1 was fabricated with the ATC controller in mind. The controller uses an industry standard operating system and supports multiple protocols, including AB3418E, NTCIP, and NWSCentral.

Made in U.S.A. The M1 from the start to finish has been designed, manufactured, tested, assembled and supported in the United States of America.

Communication. The M1 comes complete with a full complement of communication ports.

Control. The M1 uses traditional and revolutionary traffic control features to allow the user to have extreme flexibility when creating ideal traffic control solutions.

Rugged and Durable. In an industry that demands durability, the M1 enclosure is made of 1/8” thick formed aluminum. The M1 is encased in an all metal form, from the outside casing to the A/B/C/D connectors. The M1 is fabricated not just to withstand the full NEMA environmental requirements, but also to maintain its full functionality.
