Bluetooth traffic monitoring

Clearview Traffic has announced the Golden River M830, a new low-cost journey time monitoring and queue detection solution based on Bluetooth device recognition. A single unit detects and uniquely identifies multiple vehicles simultaneously across all lanes and in both directions. The company claims that on a dual carriageway the cost of an installed site is as little as 10 per cent of an equivalent ANPR installation.

557 Clearview Traffic has announced the Golden River M830, a new low-cost journey time monitoring and queue detection solution based on Bluetooth device recognition. A single unit detects and uniquely identifies multiple vehicles simultaneously across all lanes and in both directions. The company claims that on a dual carriageway the cost of an installed site is as little as 10 per cent of an equivalent ANPR installation.

The M830 Bluetooth traffic monitoring solution provides a reliable real-time statistical sampling of actual journey times from the traffic flowing through the network that empowers traffic officers
to react more quickly to early warning signs and prevent unnecessary congestion.

By recording the anonymous MAC addresses of devices along with a timestamp as they pass through the detection zones at each sensor location and then matching anonymous MAC addresses as they pass through additional sensor locations, traffic officers can build up a picture not only of the typical journey times but also of the average speed through the network and identify where significant changes in traffic conditions have occurred. Clearview Traffic says the product, which can be mounted on existing poles, lamp columns or bridges, has already been successfully deployed in a number of trials in major motorway, trunk road and urban environments, enabling traffic fiow and congestion to be readily monitored.

  • Solar-powered logging stud

    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.

  • US state of the art workzone safety
    January 25, 2012
    The Texas Transportation Institute's Jerry Ullman talks about the state of the art in work zone safety in the US. Work zones are places where, perhaps more than anywhere else on the road network, mobility and safety are strongly linked. Historically, field crews and contractors wanted vehicles in work zones to be moving as slowly as possible, assuming that made conditions the safest for work crews. We are though starting to see a shift in such thinking with the realisation that excessive delays or slow-down
