This work will improve the overall efficiency and capacity of the rail network. The total contract consists of two key packages, including the introduction of a new Traffic Management System (TMS) along with the upgrading of the Sydney Trains’ network conventional signalling to a digital ETCS-L2 train control system.
- Siemens Mobility intends to acquire Aldridge Traffic Controllers (ATC) based in Sydney, Australia
- ATC is a traffic controller provider with manufacturing and engineering competencies as well as a licensed SCATS® software distributor
- ATC is a main player in the Asia-Pacific market for urban traffic management, where SCATS® is the predominant technology
- The intended acquisition will allow Siemens Mobility ITS to enhance its core business, gain access to new customers and to expand its footprint
- Siemens Mobility will further implement its strategy for ITS to reduce congestion, increase safety and comfort and improve air quality in cities around the world
- The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval by the respective authorities
Siemens Mobility has initiated proceedings for the acquisition of Aldridge Traffic Controllers (ATC), a main player in the market for urban traffic control and SCATS® customers around the world. ATC is one of a few companies holding a license to distribute the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS®), a holistic, innovative and scalable system of traffic management software and SCATS® type approved controllers. Through the intended acquisition, SCATS® customers will get access to Siemens Mobility’s broad Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) product and solution portfolio as well as global ITS domain competence. Furthermore, the intended acquisition of ATC will allow Siemens Mobility to strengthen its core business of traffic management and expand its footprint and operations in the APAC region, one of the fastest growing markets for traffic management. As a result of this intended acquisition, Siemens Mobility will be able to provide the entire chain of major adaptive traffic control systems globally.
Siemens has recently been contacted by groups and individuals expressing their opinion on the Adani Carmichael coal mine project in Queensland, Australia.
To whom it may concern,First of all, I do want to thank you for the countless
mails, social media engagements and personal meetings over this important matter.
The vast majority has been addressing their concerns clearly and with respect.
For me, this only underscored the importance and the need to diligently look
into the issue at hand. Especially, the messages I’ve received from Australian
people have moved me personally, when they described that their homes and their
country is burning and suffering from these terrible fires.Even though we do not have clear evidence that the wildfires
and this project are directly connected, I feel empathy for all those, who
spoke up and warned about worsening conditions. Siemens, as one of the first companies
to have pledged carbon neutrality by 2030, fundamentally shares the goal of
making fossil fuels redundant to our economies over time.
- Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) Certification
- Supports cutting-edge intelligent infrastructure
- Certificate given at ITS World Congress
Siemens Mobility’ traffic light controller “Sitraffic sX” is certified as compatible with the urban traffic control system SCATS (a registered trademark Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System). New South Wales’ agency for road infrastructure and owner of the registered trademark SCATS system, Road and Maritime Services (RMS), has granted Siemens the certification after a substantial period of integration development and testing. The Compatibility Certificate confirms that Siemens Mobility’s “Sitraffic sX” traffic light controller has been tested and evaluated by RMS to functionally operate with SCATS. The official hand-over of the Certificate from RMS to Siemens Mobility took place during a ceremony at the 26th ITS World Congress 2019 in Singapore at Siemens Mobility booth.
