Delivering solutions for cleaner air

Yunex Traffic is the UK leader in intelligent traffic systems (ITS), designing, developing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining a wide portfolio of traffic management products for customers worldwide.

Active in 24 countries, we enable cities and transport authorities to make their road networks and vehicle fleets more intelligent, efficient and safer. We deploy the latest digital technology to minimise the impact of vehicle emissions, as well to lessen the environmental impact of the provision and maintenance of the critical infrastructure that keeps vehicles moving and our towns and cities functioning.

We offer a range of services from complete turnkey solutions and fully integrated strategic traffic management and control suites to individual tactical solutions designed to achieve targeted benefits. These solutions enhance road safety, improve traffic flow and reduce emissions in congested areas.

Our systems portfolio spans from our innovative Plus+ traffic control system, to congestion charging and clean air zone solutions, as well as managed services, hosting, traffic enforcement, connected mobility and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

We play a key role in supporting local, regional, and national transport authorities to arrest and reverse the decline in air quality. To achieve this, authorities are increasingly deploying targeted clean air and low emissions zones, with our infrastructure and technology behind London’s expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone as well as clean air zones (CAZs) in Birmingham, Portsmouth, Newcastle and Sheffield. Targeted and effective, Clean Air Zones drive behavioural change, discouraging the use of older, higherpolluting vehicles in towns and cities, with technology and enforcement solutions helping to accelerate the changes required to achieve air quality improvements. manage and evolve to meet their changing priorities.

Working with Transport for London (TfL), we are also developing FUSION, a new approach to the intelligent adaptive control of traffic signals. The system ensures traffic management decisions and target outcomes are policy-driven, so for example traffic signal timing can be optimized to ensure active travel modes and cleaner air outcomes are prioritised.

FUSION is currently being trialled at live sites across London and Hampshire, with initial results indicating the system’s impact on congestion is particularly significant. By optimising signalised junctions and pedestrian crossings based on all road users’ needs and traffic policy priorities, FUSION has reduced congestion by between 20% and 60% compared to SCOOT - the system which has been operating in London for 30 years.

Well-designed solutions help ease congestion, improve air quality, and maintain road safety. They also gather data-rich information from on-street assets, enabling cities to better plan,

We have the vision, experience, expertise and product range that enables transport managers and authorities to meet their traffic and carbon targets, including the need to balance transport efficiency with emissions and road safety. We know how important constructive partnerships are if national, regional and local mobility and air quality targets are to be achieved, and we look forward to working with you, our customers and supply chain partners, to reduce accidents, congestion and harmful emissions in our cities.
