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.

    UK manufacturer AGD Systems has upgraded its 318 Traffic Control Radar to detect stationary and queuing traffic. The company says the solution provides a cost-effective alternative for local authorities using in-ground detection from their road networks. According to AGD, the pole-mounted solution provides virtual loop detection with speed discrimination and can emulate two inductive loops to a range of 150m or provide lane-specific detection up to 40m for a range of applications. Additionally, the

    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although
