SCATS (the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) is the long established adaptive traffic control system and methodology developed by the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) of New South Wales, Australia and used throughout the world.

From early May, a new release of LinSig3 (version 3.0.16.0), will enable all LinSig users to build traffic models using SCATS™-Based Terminology. Such models follow established SCATS™ conventions and use numerically labelled Signal Groups (known as Phases in the UK) and phases (known as Stages in the UK) that are labelled alphabetically.

Specifically, LinSig3 users will be able to:

  • Assemble and optimise signal timings for stand-alone junctions and large networks of signal controlled and giveway junctions using either UK signal control terminology and labelling or SCATS™-Based terminology.
  • Convert existing models in whichever mode to the opposite format at the 'press of a button'.

This new version also includes numerous updates, user requests and improvement features including significantly faster traffic assignment and signal timing optimisation in larger networks.
