    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

    The safety benefits of C/AVs have long been promoted – but research suggests they should also contribute to cheaper roads. David Crawford investigates the potential benefits in infrastructure costs Building narrower freeway lanes to accommodate the enhanced route-tracking capabilities of connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs), running in platoon conditions, could result in cost savings of £0.5 million (€0.56 million or US$6.5 million) for every km of road length built. Such benefits could be secur

    There are many frustrations that motorists encounter in their travels. Sitting at a blocked crossing, scowling at a stopped train, is high on that list. Blocked rail crossings are even more disruptive to the road traffic manager trying to improve traffic efficiency and reduce delays on the road network. Island Radar says it is the detection system of choice for cities, municipalities and traffic managers that are looking for new solutions to the old problem of blocked crossings.
