Obstacle detection sensor system

Mobile Awareness has announced the SE (Sensor Enhancement) version of its SenseStat rear blind spot detection sensor family. The device simultaneously monitors four zones at the rear of a vehicle, indicating the area closest to an object. According to the company, the SenSat SE version is a new design improvement which maximises protection of the sensors while providing greater mounting flexibility and reliability.

6272 Mobile Awareness has announced the SE (Sensor Enhancement) version of its SenseStat rear blind spot detection sensor family. The device simultaneously monitors four zones at the rear of a vehicle, indicating the area closest to an object. According to the company, the SenSat SE version is a new design improvement which maximises protection of the sensors while providing greater mounting flexibility and reliability.

The current models available in the SE version are the Wireless (MA-ODSS-4M17W-SE), Wired Truck & Trailer (MA-ODSS-4M17TT-SE) and the Wired Box Truck (MA-ODSS--4M17BT-SE). Common among them are the ability to simultaneously monitor four zones in real-time, an LED display which indicates the direction or location of an obstacle or person, display blanking until reverse gear is engaged and a stop-line adjustment feature. The company says all systems are easily installed in less than an hour on most vehicles and include a laminated user guide (safety instruction card) for easy driver education and reference.

    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo

    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
