    Transpo Industries launched a unique concept in work zone intrusion protection last year. The SonoBlaster impact-activated safety device warns both roadway workers and errant vehicles simultaneously. When impacted, the unit's built-in CO2-powered horn blasts loudly (125 dB) for 15 seconds, signalling crews that their work zone has been violated. This provides critical reaction time to move out of harm's way. The company says there are also resultant safety benefits for the driver, who may be able to take ev

    Clearview Traffic has launched the M210 solar-powered logging stud, which the company claims is a unique and innovative solution for accurately counting vehicles on a wide range of roads. As the company points out, on roads which have no counting systems installed, long-term trends are often completely invisible. However, installing a wide network of loop-based traffic counters is often not economically practical due to the costs of installing and maintaining these devices.

    August 18, 2016
    As vehicles become highly independent and begin to drive and react to traffic on their own, autonomous systems will aggregate and process data from a variety of on-board sensors and connected infrastructure, says ABI Research. This forces the industry to hit a hard reset on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) architectures, currently dominated by distributed processing and smart sensors. Automotive OEMs will need to adopt new platforms based on powerful, centralised processors and high-speed low la
