The MT4040 traffic controller is based on a distributed intelligence, composed by a central industrial type 386 microprocessor and by a series of peripheral microprocessors dedicated to the I / O management and control. This type of structure allows to realize a traffic controller directed to be a General Purpose peripheral unit, able to manage not only the signal plant itself but to be, once endowed with the proper transmission way (GSM cellular phone or Telephone line), a bi-directional collector of a series of information necessary to the city area managers, providing data concerning private and public traffic and environmental data such as atmospheric pollution.O controlador de semáforos MT 4040 é baseado num distribuidor inteligente, composto por um microprocessador industrial 386 e por uma série de microprocessadores periféricos destinados à gestão e controlo dos Inputs e Outputs.
