Multiphase ADS

Reduce Traffic Queues by 50%

Multiphase ADS

SRL’s Multiphase Adaptive Detection System uses advanced deep learning algorithms and a high-precision radar detector to automatically adjust green times, accurately interpreting traffic volume and speed for optimal flow management. Multiphase ADS is compatible with Rapid Response, any SRL portable signal and SolarLight™.

How Does Multiphase ADS Work?

Multiphase ADS connects a high-precision radar detector, which gathers real-time data on traffic volumes and speeds at the roadside, to temporary traffic lights. This data is then analysed by a sophisticated algorithm that dynamically adjusts green times to optimize traffic flow.

The busier the road, the more valuable this unique technology becomes, including taking in factors for site-specific conditions like HGV lag.

SRL’s Multiphase ADS is particularly effective in managing tidal traffic flow, reducing congestion for vehicles moving in one direction. As peak traffic subsides, the system adapts green times to reflect quieter conditions, ensuring smooth, efficient traffic management.

Key Features

SRL Multiphase ADS achieves a remarkable 50% reduction in average queue length and a 29% decrease in maximum queue length. This leads to less congestion at busy roadworks, allowing traffic to flow more smoothly. With fewer delays, drivers benefit from a more efficient experience on the road. This enhancement not only improves travel times but also reduces frustration for motorists navigating high-traffic areas, contributing to a better overall driving environment.

The implementation of Multiphase ADS results in a significant 22% reduction in average journey times at critical junctions. By intelligently optimising green light durations, the system allows vehicles to pass through temporary traffic works more quickly, shortening their overall travel time through the junction. This efficient traffic management solution not only enhances the experience for individual drivers but also contributes to reduced congestion in the area, fostering a smoother flow of vehicles and improved accessibility for all road users.

During peak traffic hours, Multiphase ADS delivers an impressive 40% reduction in average journey times peak flows (between 08.40 and 09.00 across all routes), while routes with the highest flow of traffic experience a staggering 52% reduction in travel time. This performance is particularly beneficial for heavily trafficked corridors. By effectively managing traffic flow even during busy periods, the system ensures that drivers encounter less congestion and reach their destinations more swiftly, enhancing overall traffic efficiency and reducing emissions caused by vehicle idling at junctions.

Testimonials

"I'd just like to say how impressed we are with the [Multiphase] ADS. Both 3-ways we installed were on major trunk roads in Bristol. Our customers (Bristol City Council and Vistry) have both  commented on how well the systems worked, keeping the traffic flowing. Thanks again for the great service you provide ETM"

Andy Macey
Assistant Manager
ETM

"SRL’s Multiphase ADS system was a huge advantage for us during the tender stage. Fully portable and flexible for our needs, the reactive, intelligent traffic light technology is 50% more efficient than standard signals. All 70 of SRL’s traffic signals for the Scottish Water contract are Multiphase ADS enabled."
