6626 Image Sensing Systems’ RTMS Sx-300 is a small roadside pole-mounted radar operating in the microwave band. It combines the company’s RTMS radar with a Bluetooth sensor for incident detection, travel time calculation and origin/destination information.

The integrated sensor detects Bluetooth signals from vehicles, hands-free sets, mobile phones and navigation systems and provides per-lane presence as well as volume, occupancy, speed and classification information in up to 12 user-defined detection zones. Output information is via serial communication, while Bluetooth information is available via TCP/IP.

According to ISS, a single radar can replace multiple inductive loop detectors.

    Field trials under way in Arizona promise eradication of accidents between emergency vehicles at intersections – as part of a national focus on ‘intelligent signal’ infrastructure. Collisions between police cars, ambulances and fire crews as they reach intersections at the same time, with equal priority given by all signals set on red, are as serious as they sound absurd. For emergency teams and those in need of their help, the consequences are dire. The solution could come from application of connected veh

    David Crawford investigates an innovative public/private partnership. Los Angeles entered the second decade of the 21st century facing major challenges to its parking operations. With a population of 3.8 million, and its car-oriented culture still predominant, the city's parking meters were technically outdated - with most only accepting coins and many regularly out of service - resulting in a substantial loss of revenue. This coincided with a number of Californian cities looking to parking income to boost
