Bumper start to 2015 for Sensys

Sensys Traffic has begun 2015 with two major repeat orders from customers in Sweden and Qatar. As part of its Vision Zero transport plan, the Swedish Transport Administration has placed an order for installation equipment for the country’s automatic traffic safety control (ATC) speed camera system. The order, which is worth US$246,000, follows a US$11.4 million order for ATC systems received in November 2014.

569 Sensys Traffic has begun 2015 with two major repeat orders from customers in Sweden and Qatar.

As part of its Vision Zero transport plan, the 746 Swedish Transport Administration has placed an order for installation equipment for the country’s automatic traffic safety control (ATC) speed camera system. The order, which is worth US$246,000, follows a US$11.4 million order for ATC systems received in November 2014.

In addition, Sensys has received an additional order for traffic safety systems worth US$618,000 from a customer in Qatar, in addition to the breakthrough order worth US$742,000 announced earlier in the year, following a conscious long-term market investment in the region.

The Swedish ATC system uses Sensys’s non-intrusive fixed speed enforcement system, the Speed Safety System (SSS), based on the RS242 multi-tracking radar. This wide-beam radar unit is capable of tracking multiple vehicles simultaneously across several lanes up to 150 metres wide. Vehicles moving within the radar lobe are tracked and their movements analysed, with speed determined via Doppler and checked by distance over time.

“It is pleasing to see that we are now starting to reap the benefits of our long-term investments in markets in the Middle East. Once again this order confirms the strength of our tailored solutions, based on the flexibility of our leading technology and a robust project implementation organisation. By establishing ourselves in the region we increase opportunities for closer dialogue with our customers, enabling us to adapt our offering,” comments Sensys CEO Johan Frilund.

    A joint whitepaper published by Here and SBD argues that new levels of vehicle automation will increase traffic congestion in the foreseeable future and it's up to the automotive industry to enhance its collaboration in order to create a seamless transition as we reach these new levels of automation. According to co-author of the study, Andrew Hart, director at SBD, autonomous cars have the potential in the long-term to revolutionise mobility and radically improve the safety of our roads.

    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

    Colin Sowman discovers how the latest systems can boost productivity and reduce conflict in parking enforcement. Parking enforcement is something of a ‘Cinderella’ service for local authorities: while necessary to keep the roads open and the traffic flowing, it is an expensive operation and can be loss-making. It is also labour intensive and parking enforcement officers are routinely verbally abused and sometimes physically attacked. Some authorities are now looking to automate parking enforcement in orde
