JCT Consultancy was formed in the 1980s to develop and market the LinSig software package for Traffic Signal Design and to provide specialist traffic signal related consultancy advice to local authorities, consultants and central government. Since then further traffic engineering software products have been developed, and a comprehensive programme of training courses has been set up both to support the software and to teach general traffic signal design techniques. Still based in the historic City of Lincoln, JCT now employ a team of consultants and software engineers who combine to provide world-class engineering services.
LinSig users in New Zealand and Australia may be interested in a forthcoming series of training courses throughout August and early September in Auckland, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane. You can find out more by following the links from our course schedule. If you are new to LinSig and would like to know more about this extremely versatile signal design tool, why not come along to one of our free afternoon seminars also being run in Auckland, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in August and September.
You can book places online and learn more about the range of tuition services we can provide by visiting our training pages. To book online simply choose which courses you wish to attend from our course diary and proceed to the checkout (international courses have a yellow background); no payments are processed through this website but a purchase order reference is required to confirm bookings. We are already getting lots of interest in both the seminars and the workshops so please remember that places are limited and we can only guarantee your place if you book early.
Our popular Traffic Signal Symposium & Exhibition will take place from the 15th September 2010 and bookings are now being taken, prices start from £265 + VAT. The JCT Traffic Signal Symposium runs every year and provides an opportunity for the UK's traffic signal industry to gather together as a community and share ideas and experiences. In combination with the Exhibition that runs in parallel with the Symposium, the MOVA User Group that runs beforehand and the social events in the evening, the event as a whole provides unique opportunities to engineers and businesses alike.
This year we return to Hertfordshire University's de Havilland Campus. Hertfordshire University hosted the 2009 Symposium and we look forward to the same high standards that made last year's event such a success. You can find out more about the 2010 Symposium and Exhibition here and you can either book your place(s) online or by downloading and completing a pdf booking form. We also have a selection of special offers and promotions for this year's event.
LinSig is our flagship software product for Traffic Signal design, modelling and analysis. Version 3 significantly extends LinSig's pre-existing feature set and consolidates LinSig's position as the most widely used signal design software in the UK.
In the new version there are improved network modelling tools allowing larger networks to be modelled in addition to providing a range of options to efficiently edit and manage traffic flows within the model network. We've improved other elements of the software too, for example: pedestrians can be modelled, you can include multiple signal controllers, and you can model junctions using a lane-based approach instead of using links as in Version 2.
We believe there are lots of new features in Version 3 that traffic engineers will both need and appreciate. If you would like to trial the software to find out for yourself, you can download a free demonstration version from our software section where you can also find out more about the product, prices and the licensing structure.
JCT develop and market a range of industry-leading traffic signal design software products. These products are developed in-house by experienced traffic engineers and we are therefore in a unique position to provide software that is focused on solving real-world problems. You can find out more about our software products in the software section.
If you are already using our software but need an update or have some questions about how to use it, you may find what you need in our software support section. We make every effort to provide practical and effective software support and guidance on the best way to use our products and can often offer advice and insight on the best way to handle tricky real-world scenarios.
Our Traffic Signal related training courses have been running for many years now and we have trained 1000s of people in the last five years alone. We currently run around 40 courses per year spread over a range of subjects and locations throughout the UK. Courses include both lectured courses and also computer workshops which are used to teach practical design exercises. All of our courses are accredited by the IHE. JCT also organise a range of user groups both for our own software and for other traffic signal related topics.
With a track record over 20 years, our consultancy work has covered every aspect of traffic signals, and has given the practical grounding we need for training and software development, as well as building up our knowledge and experience of all round best practice. We welcome enquiries regarding any type of junction, or traffic signal work and can bring to bear our considerable in-house expertise to take on the most challenging of projects.
