Realising that rising fuel costs lead to more commuters taking to the streets on bicycles, creating an increased need for accurate bicycle detection at intersections, US traffic management information solutions provider 73 Iteris has launched SmartCycle, a new product addition to its Vantage video detection product suite.
    
According to Iteris, an intersection configured with SmartCycle can effectively differentiate between bicycles and other vehicles, enabling more efficient signalised intersections and maximised traffic throughput. Vantage SmartCycle can accurately detect vehicles and bicycles with a single video detection camera facing a dedicated approach. Agencies using bicycle timing can now benefit from bicycle-specific virtual detection zones that can be placed anywhere within the approaching traffic lanes, eliminating the need for separate bicycle-only detection systems.

“SmartCycle provides traffic engineers and planners a cost effective way to bring their traffic management systems into compliance with new regulations that require bicycle detection capabilities,” said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. “We believe the addition of SmartCycle provides us a clear advantage as we pursue detection opportunities for the estimated 50,000 signalised intersections nationwide where cycling is most abundant.”

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
