6626 Image Sensing Systems (ISS) has provided RTMS G4 radars for traffic management on the Sea to Sky Highway for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. The highway rises from the Strait of Georgia to Whistler Mountain where many Olympic events are to be held. 2014 Miller-Capilano is responsible for the operation of the highway and will use RTMS G4 to monitor traffic conditions, display speed-map representation of the highway and determine travel time for commuters.

According to Tom Cloutier, assistant operations manager of Miller-Capilano, “We needed a solution that was not intrusive to our highway operations. ISS was able to provide us with a proven solution that was cost effective and non-intrusive. It’s wireless component and accurate traffic reporting, in conjunction with the management software assured that we have the information for our operations and we can provide traveller information to third parties for the commuters.”

Public transit improvements can bring society “significantly more value” than conventional transport models normally indicate, argues Canadian researcher Todd Litman. “Traditional evaluation practices originally developed to assess roadway improvements, and focus primarily on vehicle travel speeds and operating costs. “They do not generally quantify or monetise basic mobility benefits, vehicle ownership and parking cost savings, or efficient land developme

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
