Navtech Radar showcases AID radar at Traffex

Navtech Radar is teaming up with business partner P Ducker Systems (PDS) to showcase their CTS350 radar at Traffex 2015. The CTS350 is small, lighter than previous models, and easy to install and commission and, according to the companies, gives very low numbers of false alarms – typically one per 1 km per 24 hours. It is also widely used in geographical regions where inclement weather – rain, fog, snow, sand and dust is common. Ryan Hood, sales and marketing director of Navtech Radar explains, “Our

RSS819 Navtech Radar is teaming up with business partner P Ducker Systems (PDS) to showcase their CTS350 radar at 136 Traffex 2015.

The CTS350 is small, lighter than previous models, and easy to install and commission and, according to the companies, gives very low numbers of false alarms – typically one per 1 km per 24 hours. It is also widely used in geographical regions where inclement weather – rain, fog, snow, sand and dust is common.

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 places. Several of the AID projects our technology is implemented on include all lanes running on strategic roads, with no hard shoulder, so fast and accurate detection is a must.”

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni

    Radar effective as detection tool for hard shoulder running
    Navtech Radar's millimetric-wave systems are being researched on the M42 in England to look into how this type of detector can assist in the opening of the hard shoulder as an additional running lane. Here, the company's Stephen Clark talks about the technology being used. In England, the Highways Agency's (the HA, an executive agency of the Department for Transport) Managed Motorways system - formerly called Active Traffic Management - uses electronic signs and signals mounted on gantries to direct drivers
