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.

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.”

    The Texas Transportation Institute's Jerry Ullman talks about the state of the art in work zone safety in the US. Work zones are places where, perhaps more than anywhere else on the road network, mobility and safety are strongly linked. Historically, field crews and contractors wanted vehicles in work zones to be moving as slowly as possible, assuming that made conditions the safest for work crews. We are though starting to see a shift in such thinking with the realisation that excessive delays or slow-down

    The European Commission is placing too much emphasis on the use of demand management, according to the FIA. Here, Wil Botman, Director-General of the FIA's European Bureau, explains why. Towards the end of last year, the European Bureau of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) released a statement which criticised the European Commission's (EC's) approach to urban traffic congestion following the adoption of the Action Plan on Urban Mobility. In particular, the FIA voiced concerns over what it

    In-vehicle anti-collision systems continue to evolve and could eliminate some incidents altogether. John Kendall rounds up the current developments.

The accident happened at walking pace, no-one was hurt and both cars had body panels that regain their shape after a low speed shunt.
