Our service covers the supply, installation and renewal of traffic signal assets, alongside the ongoing maintenance of pedestrian crossings, variable message signs and wider ITS equipment. We also support temporary traffic management and planned works, ensuring traffic systems continue to perform reliably through change, upgrades and high‑demand periods.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)

Optima Hub is Telent’s web‑based, modular Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that brings data from traffic signals and wider roadside assets into a single, easy‑to‑use platform. By integrating information from traffic signal controllers, CCTV, pedestrian crossings, variable message signs, air quality sensors and bus priority systems, Optima Hub provides a clear, real‑time view of network and asset performance.

Hosted and managed by Telent, the system enables remote monitoring, faster fault identification and more informed decision‑making, helping authorities better manage their traffic assets, improve operational efficiency and plan maintenance more effectively.

Sustainable traffic signals maintenance: scaling LED technology to reduce CO₂

As part of Telent’s Environment and Sustainability vision, our traffic signal maintenance teams are helping customers cut energy use, costs and carbon by replacing legacy halogen signals with efficient LED technology. Already delivered across our UK and London contracts, these upgrades extend asset life, reduce CO₂ emissions and support our shared journey to net zero.
