WaySync-M, which is the short for WaySync-Mobile, is a mobile tool for real-time diagnosis and performance evaluation of traffic signal timing plans. It enables users to develop virtual signal controllers on their mobile devices, which run the same timing plans as that running in the field. Together with its advanced features of geo-referencing and dynamic time-space diagram, it allows users to easily diagnose common issues with actuated coordinated signals, such as phase early return, transition, clock drifting, and erroneous offset inputs. It can be used as a supplemental tool for better timing coordinated traffic signals. Dynamic time-space diagram with Integrated vehicular trajectory for best diagnosis and performance evaluation of coordinated traffic signals. Key features: + Display real-time Time-Space Diagram (TSD) of the traffic signals + Display real-time traffic signal timing on Map + Check bandwidth and attainability when edit timing in TSD + Record GPS tracks and videos which can help engineers to improve traffic performance + Support optimization for non-common cycles * Wifi-only iPad cannot record GPS tracks without external GPS device.

The VMS Traffic will support intelligent traffic information dissemination. With just a mobile phone, you can complete local content publishing and device management on VMS displays. The rapid development of the transportation industry makes the timeliness and flexibility of road information publishing increasingly critical. Accurate information prompts are of great significance for road safety. The VMS display control app has been developed to meet these needs. Users can directly upload display content via their mobile phones, easily fulfilling their information display requirements. In the VMS display control function, we support direct image uploads or text editing for synchronized display, catering to various traffic information publishing scenarios such as temporary reminders, road condition reports, and speed limit warnings. This app supports both Chinese and English. In addition, it can provide targeted promotional advertisements, discount information, and upcoming special event information for zero-cost stores. It supports text modification in APP and PC software, and can display different texts, symbols, animations, and speed limits. The VMS is equipped with a hydraulic telescopic pole that can rotate 270 degrees. The tow is powered by solar energy, so it does not produce any noise and is very suitable for outdoor use. Currently, the existing size of the VMS uses P10 outdoor full-color modules and 5-color LED displays.
