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.

    Image Sensing Systems will be highlighting how its RTMS Echo is part of the technology used in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s first flex lane on the Madison Beltline in Dane County.  The flex lane is an innovative solution to ease backups during the busiest times and provide reliability for motorists. The Echo monitors the traffic volume on the highway's mainline lanes. When traffic levels hit a certain volume threshold, a notification is sent, and the system automatically opens the median shoulder lane to allow vehicles to start using the lane.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
