Traffic signal project cost forecasting: common blind spots
November 1, 2026
Cost forecasts on traffic signal projects look solid at design sign-off, then drift badly through delivery. The blind spots are remarkably consistent across project types.

Tips & updates
From the workshop
Journaling filesystems and power-loss recovery in traffic cabinet storage
October 31, 2026
Unplanned power loss is one of the most common triggers for storage corruption in roadside traffic cabinets. Journaling filesystems are the first line of defence, but not all journaling modes protect equally.
Sovereign identity at the edge: provisioning device credentials in smart city networks
October 30, 2026
As smart city networks push intelligence out to the kerb, the question of how individual edge devices prove their identity becomes a safety-critical engineering problem. Getting device credential provisioning wrong creates gaps that fixed-time patching can't close.
Oversaturation at signalised intersections: causes and signal responses
October 29, 2026
Oversaturation occurs when demand at a signalised intersection consistently exceeds its capacity, and standard timing adjustments alone won't resolve it. Understanding the causes and the signal control responses is essential for anyone designing or operating urban traffic infrastructure.
Storage partitioning strategies for multi-tenant traffic cabinet systems
October 28, 2026
When a single traffic cabinet hosts multiple co-resident systems, storage partitioning becomes a safety-critical decision, not just a configuration task. Getting the boundaries wrong can corrupt logs, starve real-time processes, or bring down an intersection.
Retroreflective backing on signal heads: what it does and when it's needed
October 27, 2026
Retroreflective backing boards on signal heads are a small but consequential detail in intersection design. Specifying them correctly can be the difference between a conspicuous signal and a hazardous one.
