Live on ArcGIS · new app in development The traffic committee, from request to decision
SIGNYX brings a traffic committee's work into one place: incoming requests, plans, map-based planning of signs, poles, road markings and disabled parking, meetings and decisions. The current ArcGIS-based edition is in daily use at an Israeli regional council. A new standalone web app is in development.
Roundabouts and car parks with sign symbols
The problem
One decision, too many tools
A traffic committee's work is a long chain: a request from the municipal call centre, a plan to draw on the map, a meeting with an agenda, minutes, and expiry dates on disabled-parking permits to track. When every link lives in a different tool, it's hard to tell where a request stands, who owns it and what was finally decided.
Available today
SIGNYX on ArcGIS
The edition in use today is built on ArcGIS Online and covers the committee's working cycle:
- RequestsTakes in requests from the Esh Bina municipal call-centre system.
- PlansEach request is managed as a plan with a status.
- Planning on the mapSigns, poles, road markings and disabled parking, drawn directly on the map.
- CommitteesAn agenda and decisions for every meeting.
- Agenda and minutesAgenda and minutes produced as PDF files.
- Disabled parkingTracking of disabled-parking bays and permits.
How it works
The life of a request
- TAKE 01 · ST-01RequestA request arrives from the Esh Bina system.
- TAKE 02 · ST-02PlanIt becomes a plan with a status and an owner.
- TAKE 03 · ST-03PlanningThe planner draws signs, poles and markings on the map.
- TAKE 04 · ST-04CommitteeThe plan goes on the meeting agenda.
- TAKE 05 · ST-05DecisionThe decision is recorded and the minutes are produced as a PDF.
- TAKE 06 · ST-06Follow-upDisabled-parking bays and permits stay tracked after the meeting.
In development
Next: a standalone SIGNYX web app
This is the planned scope of the new app, not what is available today. The goal: one system with proper role separation instead of several connected tools.
- A "needs attention" home screenCards that show what is waiting for whom.
- Requests inboxOpen a plan straight from any request.
- Plan page with a timelineEvery status change in one place.
- Focused planning mapThe map opens on the selected plan, with A3 printing.
- Meeting managementDrag-and-drop agenda, attendees and a meeting mode.
- Closing a committeeA before-and-after preview, then a single write that either fully succeeds or changes nothing.
- Disabled parkingA list of permits about to expire.
- Roles and auditUsers, roles, an audit log and server-side PDF output.
Start in the field
HAMMER traffic-sign survey
Good sign management starts with an accurate inventory. In a HAMMER traffic-sign survey, a separate service, a vehicle with cameras and AI detection records the streets, then trained staff check the images and place every sign on the aerial photo. Each sign gets a type, direction, condition and photo, and the result is delivered as GIS layers of signs, poles and road markings.
Who it's for
Everyone around the committee table
- Committee manager or coordinatorAgenda, decisions and minutes without chasing statuses.
- Traffic plannersSigns, poles and markings planned on the map, tied to the plan.
- Disabled-parking officerBays and permits tracked in one place.

Frequently asked questions
What is SIGNYX?
SIGNYX is a system for running a municipal traffic committee: requests, plans, map-based planning of signs, poles, road markings and disabled parking, meetings, decisions and minutes. The live edition is built on ArcGIS Online.
Is SIGNYX available today?
Yes, as the ArcGIS-based edition in use at a regional council. A new standalone web app is in development and not yet available.
What is the current edition built on?
ArcGIS Online with Esri's Experience Builder, Dashboards and Survey123, plus Make automations that produce the agenda and minutes as PDFs.
Is SIGNYX connected to Esh Bina?
SIGNYX takes in requests from Esh Bina. Writing updates back to Esh Bina from SIGNYX is not part of the system today.
Does SIGNYX survey our signs?
No. The traffic-sign survey is a separate HAMMER field service that produces GIS layers of signs, poles and markings. SIGNYX runs the traffic committee's process.
What will change in the new app?
The goal is one system instead of several connected tools: role separation, a timeline for every plan, a meeting mode, committee closing with a preview, an audit log and server-side PDFs. All of this is planned and not yet available.
Do we need ArcGIS Online for SIGNYX?
Yes. The current edition is built on it, and in the new app the layers are planned to stay in the authority's ArcGIS Online.
Want to see it working for a real committee?
In a demo we'll follow a request from intake to minutes, and talk about the data you already have.
