Which type of controller was designed to replace the 170 controller?

The 2070 controller was developed specifically to serve as a modern replacement for the older 170 controller. The advancements in the 2070 controller include enhanced capabilities for traffic management, communication, and traffic signal control, making it a more versatile option for cities and municipalities aiming to improve their traffic systems. The design of the 2070 controller accommodates the needs of contemporary traffic operations, including more sophisticated traffic pattern detection and the ability to integrate with various traffic management systems.

In comparison to the other types of controllers, such as the NEMA controller, 2000 controller, and Smart Traffic Controller, the 2070 model stands out due to its focus on interoperability and support for a wider array of technology and communication standards. While the NEMA controller adheres to specific standards for signal controllers, and the 2000 controller addresses particular technological requirements, the 2070 was explicitly engineered to fulfill the gaps left by the 170’s functionality. The Smart Traffic Controller, while also advanced and capable of integrating with modern technology, serves a different purpose and does not directly serve as a replacement for the 170.
