Reliable Control for Public Infrastructure.

Public infrastructure runs in public view, around the clock, under procurement and safety obligations that private systems rarely face. Equipment lives at the roadside in heat, rain and traffic; failures are visible immediately; and the system must keep operating safely even when a sensor, a network link or a power feed does not. Delivery means coordinating civil works, installation windows and commissioning under live conditions.

Questions operators actually ask

  • “How can intersections adapt to demand without losing safe fallback behaviour?”
  • “How do we coordinate several junctions along a corridor instead of tuning them one by one?”
  • “How will the system behave when a detector or communication link fails?”
  • “Who supports the system after commissioning, and what documentation do we receive?”
  • “How do we get operational reporting without exposing the control network?”

Relevant solutions

Capability Pattern

Adaptive junction control with safe fallback

Context
Signalised intersections where fixed-time plans no longer match real demand, and where the junction must keep operating safely under degraded sensor or network conditions.
MAGIC’s scope
Design and integration of controller logic, vehicle detection, communication and monitoring; configuration of adaptive vehicle-actuated control; definition and testing of fallback behaviour; field commissioning coordination and documented handover.
System components
  • Traffic controller and cabinet logic
  • Vehicle detection inputs
  • Real-time communication link
  • Adaptive control strategy
  • Monitoring and fault reporting
Result / learning
The delivery pattern proves the full chain from detection to adaptive timing — with the junction dropping to a known safe plan, visibly, when inputs degrade.

Capability Pattern

Corridor synchronisation delivery pattern

Context
A sequence of junctions along a corridor that had been timed individually, producing stop-start progression even under normal demand.
MAGIC’s scope
Coordination design across junctions, synchronised adaptive vehicle-actuated configuration, communication between junction controllers and the monitoring side, staged commissioning under live traffic.
System components
  • Multiple coordinated junction controllers
  • Inter-junction communication
  • Synchronised adaptive control strategy
  • Central monitoring and reporting
Result / learning
Demonstrates MAGIC’s ability to treat a corridor as one system: balancing local junction demand against progression along the route, with commissioning staged so traffic keeps moving.
