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.”

    Houston TranStar, which has been collecting travel time and segment speed data using vehicle probe data since 1995, has an extensive coverage area that envelops most local commuters' daily freeway routes. However, expanding the existing Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) system would be cost-prohibitive except for high-volume freeways. The partners of the Houston TranStar consortium needed a new method to measure speeds and travel times on arterial roadway systems and rural freeways. Instead of using co
