Replicate Permanent Signals

Urban64

SRL’s most advanced, intelligent and semi-permanent temporary traffic management solution which can replicate permanent signals in both function and scalability, Urban64® enables site bespoke layouts to allow for the same flow of traffic, pedestrians and cyclists during construction phases.

Urban64® in a nutshell

Up to 64 Signals

Urban64® can incorporate up to 64 sets of traffic lights in comparison with circa 20-39 in more traditional portable solutions, making it suitable for very large or complex projects.

No Batteries

Urban64® uses secure 48v cabling and data cabling derived from the mains feed ensuring your system never needs any downtime for battery exchanges.

Overhead Cabling

With taller posts than traditional lights, all cables run a minimum of 6.5m above the carriageway ensuring clearance from HGVs or double-decker buses, promoting safe and high usability.

Replicate Preceding Permanent Systems

Urban64® can use the same method of control as the permanent systems or a more suitable bespoke configuration to suit ongoing works so all existing permanent infrastructure (cables, poles, signals, loops) can be removed from site.

Offsite Build

Urban64® has specially designed modular blocks and poles which facilitate a more efficient way of transporting, installing and commissioning the system reducing installation time by 40%.

MOVA

Urban64® is the only intelligent temporary system to use MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation), a sophisticated traffic control strategy, specifically designed to maximise operational efficiency of a junction.

SRL Support

From initial concept to completion, SRL offers bespoke layout designs to suit the temporary works including; full installation, maintenance, decommissioning, inspections and site visits.

Key Features

Urban64® offers highly customizable traffic patterns, allowing for programmable timing adjustments tailored to specific peak and off-peak hours. This flexibility ensures that the system can adapt to varying traffic demands, optimizing flow across diverse scenarios. Additionally, with the integration of MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation), Urban64® enhances its adaptability by dynamically adjusting signal timings based on real-time traffic conditions. Together, these features help reduce congestion effectively in both urban and high-traffic environments, regardless of scale.

Urban64® utilises a unique offsite build method which reduces installation time by 40% on large sites (18+ signals), enabling the setup to be completed in one night instead of two. Components are pre-assembled and modular, allowing teams to conduct detailed testing at Urban64 centres before deployment. Onsite work is minimized, with reduced team sizes and simplified setup due to pre-assembled poles and cables, resulting in fewer disruptions and a 25% reduction in installation fees.

Urban64® allows you to adjust your layouts within a short time to help tailor your site-specific needs as schemes change throughout construction stages. With the modular blocks and poles, and long cables, the layout of signals can be moved easily to align with the project. This allows bespoke site layouts and configurations to suit the ongoing works and on larger junctions, can mean you can slowly make parts of the scheme live once completed, with Urban64® taking up the rest.

Testimonials

There’s nothing like Urban64® out there on the market. It is the only temporary system that has intelligent technology to allow for efficient phasing of traffic and pedestrian systems. This makes junctions flow better, eases road user frustration and reduces complaints. Like every product in SRL’s extensive range, Urban64® is robust and user-friendly and is backed by high levels of customer and technical support.

Technical Capabilities

UTC / UTMC Connectivity

Coordinate the system with nearby permanent sites (with remote monitoring functionality) to allow smooth traffic flow across the local area.

Walk-with-Traffic Phases

Enable traffic and pedestrian movements to operate simultaneously (where possible) to provide maximum junction efficiency and safe operation.

Conditional Phase Appearance

Utilise functionality such as split phases, early start, early cut-off and conditional appearance concepts to maximise the junction efficiency and flow.

Four Streams per controller

Have up to four traffic streams to be simultaneously controlled via a single master controller for superior efficiency on more complex sites.

Programmable Timetable

Set adaptable timings for AM, PM and off peaks to provide optimal performance that caters to the junctions needs at different times of the day.

Remote Monitoring

Access remote control and monitoring via a 4G route which allows direct interfacing with the controllers LCD display.

Adjustable Site Layouts

Change the layout of the system as the scheme changes to meet the sites’ needs at different stages of construction.

Indicative Filter Phases

Implement filter arrows with 4-in-line or 5-in-line signal options where required, allowing the junction to operate similar to the preceding permanent counterpart.

Cyclist Phases

Enable the use of low-level cycle signals with a small cycle signal mounted a lower height for easy cyclist visibility to give cyclists a head start.

Integrate VMS

Connect your Urban64® with any of our variable message signs to provide warning, instructions or alternative routes to road users on the approach up to the system.

Additional Box Signs

Add 300m x 300m regulatory box signs as a 4th aspect beneath the green LED including: No Right Turn, No U Turn, Ahead Only, Turn Left and Turn Right.

Pedestrian Countdown Timers

A countdown timer is available alongside the Green Man aspect. Research shows such a timer increases pedestrians understanding of Pelican crossings and their safety.

Urban64 Case Studies

Using Urban64 for Short Term Projects

Working in partnership with SWARCO and Renfrewshire Council, SRL were pleased to provide our Urban64 solution whilst vital signal works and refurbishments were made to permanent signals on Junction 25a of the M8, the main motorway connecting Glasgow to Edinburgh which regularly experiences high volumes of traffic due to the nearby Braehead retail outlet, shopping centre, arena and entertainment venues.

West Hill & King Edward Avenue, Dartford

SRL completed an Urban64 traffic signal installation at the junction of West Hill and King Edward Avenue in Dartford. The junction was undergoing modernisation and Telent, who were the principal contractor for the site, commissioned SRL’s Urban64 system.

Reducing Congestion and Improving Safety on M6 Junction Improvement with Urban64

The installation at Junction 19 is one of the first linked MOVA Urban64® systems to operate on such a significant junction in the Highways England network. Due to the excessive throughput of vehicles in the area due to the nearby Manchester Airport, Highways England announced a £43 million improvement plan to build a new bridge through the existing roundabout and over the M6 to create a better flow between the motorway and the A556.

Urban64 Implement Separately Signalled Movements to Improve Junction Efficiency in Bridgend, South Wales

When existing SRL customers, ERH, and its sister company Centregreat, contacted Regional Manager, Paul Hamilton, about a refurbishment to existing signals in Bridgend, Paul immediately recognised the potential for Urban64® and referred the scheme to the major projects team.  At that time, ERH were unfamiliar with Urban64® and its benefits, so managing director, John Cleary was pleased to enlighten them…
