EuroController EC-2®
 The Peek EuroController EC-2® is a state-of-the-art traffic controller, rooted in a long tradition of innovation and robustness. On the one hand it has an innovative design which integrates a flexible software architecture on a high power processor with extensive open connectivity. On the other hand it has a safety architecture that complies with European and local directives and electronics that is durable, robust and easy to maintain.
The software architecture opens up many application areas. Not only is a wide range of traffic control algorithms supported, the EC-2® can also act as a universal road-side processor that can be applied to many different tasks. The extensive open communication options for the EC-2® make it an ideal node in a wider network. The EC-2® offers wired and wireless broadband connectivity in a flexible network topology, and can easily adapt to the rapidly changing world of modern telecommunication. Applications
The EC-2® is primarily designed for traffic control at junctions and pedestrian crossings. However, the EC-2® is also applicable as a universal roadside system. The EC-2® is freely programmable; it has extensive and diverse I/O modules and a wide range of communications facilities.
As such it is suited for a wide range of applications, including: - Traffic controller;
- Ramp metering system;
- City Access controller;
- Local queue warning system;
- Tunnel control system.
Benefits
The EC-2® has a number of specific benefits that make it very cost-effective in a large number of applications. The following non-exhaustive list gives some of the benefits of using an EC-2® traffic controller: - The EC-2® offers a high level of integration and flexibility combined with a durable and robust design and is to maintain;
- IP and TCP/IP connectivity. The EC-2® functions as a node in an open TCP/IP network;
- Other IP-based applications (like intelligent camera systems, payment systems, parking management etc.) can be routed through an EC-2® to connect them to a central or distributed system;
- The EC-2® has ideal support for adaptive traffic network management systems like UTOPIA-SPOT;
- The SPOT control algorithms are efficiently integrated with the controller with minimal hardware and maximal performance;
- The EC-2® supports a large data-storage, which makes traffic analyses easy, and enables an extensive operational log;
Extensive public transport priority support. The EC-2® directly supports public transport priority through VETAG, VECOM, short distance radio and wireless LAN; - Extensive suite of Windows® configuration, simulation and test programs.
