SWARCO UK & Ireland, the UK\u2019s leading intelligent traffic solution and technology business, has signed a significant long-term partnership agreement with Suffolk County Council to deliver, install and maintain Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) throughout the county over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new contract, which extends SWARCO\u2019s working relationship with Suffolk County Council to more than 30 years, has been expanded from previous iterations to deliver innovative transport systems to provide greater benefits to the Suffolk taxpayer. <\/p>\n\n\n

Alongside fault attendance, planned maintenance and traffic signal upgrades, different sign types including Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) and Variable Message Signs (VMS), CCTV, Air Quality and Weather Station monitoring, SWARCO will also provide the county council with its Urban Traffic Management Control (UTMC) system, SWARCO MyCity, providing a long-term innovative solution to controlling, monitoring and managing Suffolk\u2019s entire portfolio of ITS assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Clements, Assistant Director of Highways Services at Suffolk County Council, says: \u201cITS is a vast umbrella of services which includes repairing and maintaining traffic signals, to monitoring air quality on busy junctions around our towns. SWARCO is an industry leader when it comes to innovating in this arena and we are glad to have them working with us in Suffolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darrell Webb, SWARCO UK & Ireland\u2019s Regional Operations Manager, says the new, expanded contract is a significant milestone for SWARCO and testament to the knowledge and expertise of its Suffolk-based delivery team that has helped foster a long-term working partnership with Suffolk County Council:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe contract win was a real team effort drawing upon the local knowledge and expertise of our Suffolk-based delivery team, ensuring our delivery model was tailored to the exact requirements of the contract and its day-to-day needs. Our technology team developed and delivered a clear ITS roadmap, which includes the introduction of our MyCity system to handle Urban Traffic Control operations and traffic signage control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look forward to our continued partnership, helping to deliver greater ITS efficiency to the benefit of the local community. We continue to invest in the Suffolk area with a local service centre, several local charity partnerships, and recently becoming a \u2018Suffolk Industry Partner\u2019 providing careers guidance to local graduates and trainees.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
