M42 ATM (active traffic management)

Pinehall Communications were pro active technology partners to  Birse Civils via J McCann Ltd on the M42 ATM pilot project.

The M42 between junctions 3a and 7 was chosen for the pilot because of its strategic importance. Providing a link between the M40 and M6 motorways as well as serving the National Exhibition centre (NEC) and Birmingham International Airport.

Some of the facts about the 17km project include:

• Over 50 new gantry structures
• Over 125 CCTV cameras
• More than 250 gantry indicator signs
• 1000 new lighting columns
• In excess of 300,000 metres of new cables to be installed.
