Traffic Engineering Control (TEC)

In the current issue

Cover story: About one in 12 UK road deaths arises from hitting a tree in a single vehicle accident but because tree felling is a thorny issue the casualty rate has never been addressed in a concerted manner. With a new drive to reduce road deaths over the next 20 years, the issue is likely to become more pressing, if not less contentious.

Other top features: Martin Wylie of Southampton ROMANSE sets out one authority's approach to defining the traffic management metrics relating to the movement of traffic.  Brian Hunt looks at how data from the NTCC can be tailored to the requirements of the user and we have an update on the Sentience project which uses electronic horizon information to improve the efficiency of vehicle systems.

Letter from the editor

Traffic Engineering & Control (TEC) celebrates its 50th birthday this year.
The Journal was set up to serve a newly emerging profession of traffic managers and still, today, remains fully dedicated to that brief.
If you are involved in traffic management, from traffic signals, through junction planning and traffic modelling to the deployment of UTMC and
the latest intelligent transport systems solutions, then you will find plenty to interest you in every issue of TEC.
