5642 Trafficware has released Version 2.6 of its ATMS.now central traffic management system, adding greater functionality with a new subscription-based parking detection capability and enabling transportation authorities to automate the collection of parking data.

The new parking detection module, using Trafficware’s patented wireless pod detection system, allows transportation agencies to aggregate this vehicle detection data into their central traffic management command centre.

ATMS.now 2.6 release includes an Edit Categories Selection in the central management software that matches what a technician sees at the street level cabinet intersection controller. For power data users, a new CSV export report will export the entire local volume/occupancy or split databases to an Excel or text file, while special database name labels have been added to the editing and view screens to provide greater descriptive ability in labelling files. The new release also features enhanced diagnostics and more than 25 other convenience and performance-enhancing additions.

ATMS.now that subscribe to Trafficware’s Software Maintenance Agreement will receive all features included in the base application free as part of the program.

    Mitsubishi’s David Jones considers an alternative to purchasing the display technology for traffic management centres. Display screen technology is evolving rapidly but while the video wall is arguably the most important technology system in a traffic management centre (TMC), most are five to 10 years old and effectively obsolete. When faced with similar problems, other sectors around the world have adopted a policy of leasing all or part of the equipment.

    Xerox’s Passenger Detection System has been trialled in California and compared with the state’s team of human counters giving some interesting results, as Colin Sowman discovers. Like others adopting high-occupancy and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for congestion management, Caltrans has faced challenges with compliance in what has been effectively an ‘honour system’ with drivers trusted to set their tags correctly or comply with the multi-passenger requirement.

    David Crawford welcomes the adoption of European-style ITS technology by the US. The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway in Illinois, US is well on the way towards becoming a ‘smart traffic corridor’, taking full advantage of active traffic management (ATM or ‘managed lanes’) technology that originated in Europe. It is one of the first American toll roads to do so; preliminary work began in 2014 and will continue through to 2016. Jane Addams is one of four toll roads operated by the publicly-owned Illinois State T
  • Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    June 11, 2015
    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
