ReThink Urban Traffic Control

From legacy traffic control to smarter network management

Helping Local Authorities modernise network control with credible expertise, practical innovation and a future-ready platform.

As pressure grows on public transport, active travel and network resilience, Local Authorities need a more proactive approach to managing how the network performs day to day. TRL’s UTC powered by SCOOT® 8AI is designed to support that shift through a modern, cloud-based, open architecture that is flexible enough to adapt as transport networks continue to change.

UTC is no longer just about keeping junctions running… It is about helping authorities respond more intelligently to changing conditions, support wider transport priorities and make better use of existing infrastructure. 

With the right platform and partner, Local Authorities can move beyond legacy traffic control and towards smarter, more resilient network management.
