UK-headquartered 557 Clearview Traffic Group has announced the proposed merger of its Count On Us traffic survey and market research arm with Sky High, which will also see Clearview taking a significant equity stake in Sky High, with representation on the board of the merged company. Sky High is involved in the capture and analysis of traffic and transport data using video, automatic, manual and market research techniques.

Describing the merger as a very positive step for both companies, Sir John Madejski, chairman of Clearview Traffic Group, said the move would enable the Count On Us business to continue to grow within a singularly focused, service oriented organisation. “By retaining an interest in the merged company, Clearview Traffic will have access to new market channels and develop an effective strategic partnership with Sky High that will be to the mutual benefit of both organisations in the UK and worldwide,” he said.

    Colin Sowman gets the global view on how ITS has shaped the way we travel today and what will shape the way we travel tomorrow. Over the past two decades the scope and spread of intelligent transport systems has grown and diversified to encompass all modes of travel while at the same time integrating and consolidating. Two decades ago the idea of detecting cyclists or pedestrians may have been considered impossible and why would you want to do that anyway? Today cyclists can account for a significant propor

    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:
