JCT Consultancy Ltd
Software, training & consultancy
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 traffic engineers and software engineers who combine to provide world-class engineering services.
JCT 16th Traffic Signals Symposium & Exhibition
The 2011 JCT Traffic Signals Symposium was held on the 21st and 22nd September 2011 at the University of Warwick. We would like to thank all delegates, exhibitors and especially speakers for once again making the Symposium a major event in the traffic signals year. We feel that overall the event in its new venue at The University of Warwick went very well and comments on our new home at Warwick were very positive. Despite the current economic climate numbers were once again well over 200 delegates with our largest ever exhibition of 35 stands.
A selection of Photographs of the Symposium are available on our Facebook page.
Full details of the programme of papers presented is available in the Symposium section. We will be adding copies of selected papers for download in due course.
We are currently finalising arrangements for next years event and will be contacting exhibitors with updated details shortly.
LinSig 3.1 - Major New Version!
LinSig is our flagship software product for Traffic Signal design, modelling and analysis. LinSig 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.
LinSig 3 provides 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.
The latest major release of LinSig - LinSig 3.1 - is now available for download from the Software Support section of this site. This major new version is the culmination of over a years work and adds a substantial number of new features to LinSig 3. Whats more its free of charge to existing LinSig users with Software Support.
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.
quickGreen - New Product!
quickGreen is a new innovative software tool to help signal engineers measure and calculate phase intergreens for traffic signal junctions. The software is designed not only to speed up the measurement process but also to reduce errors, improve the ease of checking of intergreens and assist with archiving.
When we demonstrated a pre-release version of quickGreen at Traffex earlier this year it received an enthusiastic repsonse from delegates who liked the idea of automating repetitive measurements and calculations whilst not removing any engineering judgement from the process.
quickGreen is now available to buy and more detailed information and pricing is now available together with a free demonstration version for you to try for yourself.
2011 JCT Traffic Signals Symposium & Exhibition - Full Paper List now available!
The 2011 JCT Traffic Signals Symposium and Exhibition will this year be held at the University of Warwick on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd of September.
The Symposium is now in its 16th year and we are once again looking to provide the premier traffic signals event of the year. If you only manage to attend one traffic signals event this year the Symposium is the one to attend as it brings together all the key people and companies from the traffic signals industry for two days.- Over 20 topical papers are presented covering the latest developments in the traffic signals industry.
- An exhibition of around 25 key companies allows you to catch up with the latest product developments.
- A number of evening networking events allow you to catch up with colleagues from around the industry.
What's more when compared with many conferences the Symposium is remarkably low cost to attend at only £285 + VAT for 2 days. We're even offering a range of special offers this year for early booking including a 2 for 1 offer for local authority engineers.
Software
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.
Training
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.
Consultancy
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.
