Cubic to Address the Evolution of Transportation at Highways UK 2019

Cubic Transportation Systems to showcase ITS technologies for smart city mobility
 

SAN DIEGO – Nov. 5, 2019 – Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced that its Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) business division representatives will discuss intelligent infrastructure as well as key technologies in the successful evolution of transport at Highways U.K. in Birmingham, United Kingdom from November 6–7. Cubic will also be demonstrating its innovative intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies at the exhibition. Highways U.K. is the flagship event for organizations involved in the planning, designing, building, operating and future proofing of the United Kingdom’s road network.  

“Transportation networks are complex, having to integrate an increasing number of transport modes, cater to the fast-changing needs of travelers and rapidly adopt new technologies,” said David Powell, head of ITS, Cubic Transportation Systems. “We are proud to be at the forefront of the smart city revolution, offering innovative technologies that address the real challenges facing mobility and safety.”

The Cubic team will present on the following topics at Highways U.K.:

• Intelligent Infrastructure Content Program
  Integration and Delivery
  Location: Technology Innovation Theatre
  Date/Time: November 6; 3:20 –3:40 a.m. (local time)
  Presenter: Phil Storey, project manager, CTS.
   
• Big Thinking Content Program
  Collaboration in the ITS Industry
  Location: Burges Salmon Stage
  Date/Time: November 7; 2:45 –3:00 p.m. (local time)
  Presenter: David Powell, head of ITS, CTS.
   
• Road Owner Hubs Content Program
  Key Technologies in the Successful Evolution of Transport
  Location: Urban Mobility Hub
  Date/Time: November 7; 9:45 –10:30 a.m. (local time)
  Presenter: Dave Roat, strategy director, CTS.

Cubic will be exhibiting the following solutions at stand E70:

• Cubic Transport Management Platform: The Cubic Transport Management Platform is a cloud-based ITS data integration management solution. The first-of-its-kind, this solution is built on a flexible and scalable platform that allows for the continued operation of legacy systems while reducing costs of operation.
• In-vehicle Enforcement: The “in-vehicle enforcement system” is a next-generation solution to speed enforcement. The solution, housed completely within vehicle, is able to capture speeding motorists both approaching and/or receding from the moment the enforcement vehicle leaves the depot.
• Distracted Driver Enforcement: The “distracted driving” system is situated on an elevated position over a live lane and monitors the driver’s hand positions while they are driving. The system uses a purpose developed algorithm to determine whether or not the driver is using a mobile phone and if it believes that they are, a photograph is taken of the driver and registration number of the vehicle.
• Connected In-Vehicle Information System: delivering in-vehicle signage known as Virtual Variable Message Sign (VMS) using standard cellular communications and equipment installed and available in production cars. A series of Virtual VMS messages will be presented in real time as the vehicle travels the course, demonstrated by a live video feed to the car.
• GRIDSMART System: The GRIDSMART System is the world’s most trusted and only field-tested, single-camera system that gathers and interprets important traffic data. GRIDSMART empowers traffic engineers to adjust signal timing and traffic flow strategies and enables real-time monitoring and visual assessment.

Cubic’s GRIDSMART System was shortlisted for the Intelligent Infrastructure Challenge, an open competition for industry that showcases innovative ideas using intelligent infrastructure and associated transport technologies to solve the key challenges facing U.K. transport. Jeff Price, vice president and general manager of GRIDSMART will be presenting in front of a panel of judges during the conference.
