TRICS, the UK and Ireland’s national system of trip generation analysis, is introducing the TRICS 7 series to user organisations at a free event to be held at The Grand Connaught Rooms in London on 14 January.

TRICS 7 is a comprehensive redesign of the TRICS user interface, with efficiency, user-friendliness, logic and structure in mind. It is the result of two years of research, consultation and development and is a major upgrade from the previous TRICS 6 series.

An improved logical interface reduces the number of mouse clicks and keystrokes needed, whilst the functions of the system have been rearranged in a more intuitive and understandable way.

Changes have been made to the way users view lists of sites from the home screen and trip rate filtering process, enabling site lists to be sorted by any column, in ascending or descending order, simply by clicking on the column heading. A new Map column has also been introduced, allowing users to click on the map icon in any row in the site list to access a site’s location instantly. Other changes include the ability to add and remove columns and changes to tables and site record displays.

The event on 14 January will consist of presentations in the morning, including a comprehensive TRICS 7 system demonstration, followed by hands on sessions in the afternoon.

    Daimler’s double take sees machine vision move in-vehicle
    Jason Barnes looks at Daimler’s Intelligent Drive programme to consider how machine vision has advanced the state of the art of vision-based in-vehicle systems. Traditionally, radar was the in-vehicle Driver Assistance System (DAS) technology of choice, particularly for applications such as adaptive cruise control and pre-crash warning generation. Although vision-based technology has made greater inroads more recently, it is not a case of ‘one sensor wins’. Radar and vision are complementary and redundancy

    Pile-up prompts Gulf States to counter fog menace
    David Crawford investigates a promising development to counter the problem of fog in the Gulf States. Despite being a largely desert area with low rainfall, fog is a major driving hazard in countries on the Arabian peninsula, such as the UAE. The fog is the result of moist air moving across from the neighbouring Gulf during the afternoon and evening, and experiencing radiation cooling at night.
