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.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

    Machine vision offers new solutions to old problems
    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person

    Proposed system to take guesswork out of choosing a freeway lane
    A fledgling advanced lane management assist system can take the guesswork out of selecting the right lane on a congested freeway, as its inventor Robert Gordon explains. As drivers we’ve all done it and control room staff see it all the time – motorists on congested freeways switching into what they perceive is a faster lane, only to come to a halt a few moments later and watch vehicles in the other lanes continue to move past. Now, by re-analysing readily available data in an advanced lane management as
