As the demand for traffic data and improved driver behaviour increases, 819 Navtech Radar has expanded its sales of radar-based automatic incident detection (AID) solutions for traffic management applications into North America, South America, Korea and China.

The company has been developing and implementing sensor technology and analytics for optimising the throughput on surface roads, tunnels and bridges. The software allows for individual rule setting and the Navtech says its ClearWay AID solution has the lowest false alarm rate in comparison to any other technology available in the market today, typically one per kilometre per 24 hours and is suitable for use in all weather and climate conditions.

Some of the most recent projects completed using ClearWay includes several stretches on strategic roads in the UK and Sweden, Mastrafjord and Byfjord subsea tunnels in Norway, and Bolte Bridge in Melbourne, Australia.

Ryan Hood, sales and marketing director of Navtech Radar, explains, “Our radar-based AID solution has now been adopted as a de facto standard in many countries. Several of the AID projects on which our technology is implemented include all-lane running schemes on strategic roads with no hard shoulder, so fast, reliable and accurate detection is a must. Increasingly, we also see more and more requests to use the radar data for secondary benefits, such as traffic data and driver behaviour monitoring.”

    Machine vision techniques can provide solutions to some of the traffic planners most enduring problems With a high proportion of cars being occupied by the driver alone, one of the easiest, most environmentally friendly and cheapest methods of reducing congestion is to encourage more people to travel in each vehicle. So to persuade people to share rides, high occupancy lanes were devised to prioritise vehicles with (typically) three of more people on board and in some areas these vehicles are exempt from

    A new traffic management solution is attempting to bridge the gap in information available on freeways and arterial roadways. Andrew Bardin Williams reports. Agencies responsible for national networks of roads around the world have the ability to measure, analyse and disseminate accurate travel information to drivers. Millions of dollars go into data collection infrastructure to collect traffic congestion and travel time information on major freeways or highways. For example, a driver on the I-210 in the Lo

    Wrong-way driving (WWD) is a remarkably innocuous term for incidents that all too often cause some of the worst accidents that emergency services have to deal with. Several US states are now taking steps to minimise the problem, as Alan Dron finds out. You’re driving down a highway at night when you see approaching headlights. You initially assume they are merely those of an oncoming car on the opposite carriageway. It’s only when they are within 200 yards or so that you realise that the other driver is in
