en.Wedoany.com Reported - Transport for London (TfL) has recently completed a traffic signal upgrade at the junction of the A41, Hendon Way, and The Vale in the London Borough of Barnet. Yunex Traffic supplied, installed, and commissioned a traffic signal and control solution comprising 56 signal aspects for the project, delivered using the Plus+ Advantage system.

The signal upgrade project saw the installation of 16 vehicle signal poles and 4 pedestrian signal poles, utilizing Yunex Traffic's ST950 Plus+ Advantage and Actis signal heads. The works were completed three weeks ahead of schedule, with the transition from temporary to permanent signal control taking just six nights.

Unlike traditional approaches, Plus+ Advantage uses permanent signal equipment as temporary equipment during the deployment phase. The Plus+ controller is installed in its permanent location from the outset, with signal equipment mounted on temporary poles and bases. As civil works are completed and new poles installed, the signal equipment is simply transferred from the temporary locations to the new permanent positions. Yunex Traffic states that this method significantly reduces the complexity, cost, time, and carbon emissions of signal upgrade projects, while substantially minimizing disruption to road users.

Because the ST950 Plus+ controller is TOPAS 2500B compliant, full UTC commissioning is possible even at temporary sites, maintaining complete UTC connectivity throughout the works. Even during the construction phase, the traffic signals operated under UTC and SCOOT control, with full integration of pedestrian and cyclist crossings.

Wilke Reints, Managing Director of Yunex Traffic UK, said: "We are delighted to have worked with TfL on this first installation of Plus+ Advantage in London. The installation of signalized junctions typically requires extensive civil engineering, lane closures, and the installation of temporary traffic signals. Our solution offers a new approach, enabling even the most complex schemes to be delivered without the need for temporary traffic signals."
