Urban Traffic Management and Control
16 October 2006: A new UTMC website has been launched at www.utmc.uk.com. It takes over from this DfT website and will be home to all current and future activities of the UTMC Development Group (UDG).
Therefore, these pages / documents are no longer the current versions - they are for information only. Please refer to www.utmc.uk.com for current versions.
Launched in 1997, the UTMC programme is the UK Department for Transport (DfT) main initiative for the development of a more open approach to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in urban areas. During the first three years, a number of research projects were undertaken to establish and validate an approach based on modular systems and open standards. These have contributed to the UTMC Technical Specifications, which define UTMC standards.
In January 2001, the programme embarked on its demonstrator phase, which takes the opportunity to consolidate the results of the earlier research. Preston, Reading, Stratford-upon-Avon and York are implementing, in a pragmatic way, full scale demonstrator projects based on the UTMC approach. A key element of the UTMC programme is to facilitate the continuing development and implementation of UTMC - to this end, the UTMC Development Group (UDG) of stakeholders, consisting of Local Authorities and suppliers, has been set up.
