History
The BLISS project began in the mid 1980s to replace separate legacy systems for traffic signal coordination within the city, and pioneered the use of local co-ordination modules integrated with, or connected to the traffic signal controller in the field.
BLISS is currently used in Brisbane to control approximately 900 sets of traffic signals throughout the city. It is also used in the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
