Smart stop bar detection

The latest addition to the smartmicro range of radar traffic detectors is the combined stop bar and advance detector, which the company claims offers a range of up to 180 metres and can effectively replace loops at the stop bar and at advanced approaches.

The detector also features lane specific advance detection and a flexible event trigger module which allows up to sixteen lane-specific zones (virtual loops) for which the user can set events, which will cause a trigger signal.

smartmicro’s managing director, Dr Ralph Mende comments: “We felt that our radar detector could do more than just stop bar detection. This is why we have integrated our advance detection technology in the same product line; it gives the customer a second application for the same cost. From now on users can use a single radar for stop bar and advance detection simultaneously. It works well for most intersections.”

    Sign language reduces human error says Clearview
    Wrong-way warning systems and advanced queue detection can help to reduce human error. They can also cut road accidents – and therefore road deaths, says Clearview Intelligence Where were nearly 1,800 deaths on the UK’s roads in 2018 – an average of five people dying each day. The largest single cause of serious injury is crashes at junctions (accounting for 33% of incidents), while the largest single cause of death was run-off road crashes (30%) “With vehicles increasingly being designed with saf

    Green requirements of traffic video systems
    Traficon's Head of Product and Application Management Robin Collaert offers up a discussion of the likely future green requirements of traffic video systems. At the most basic levels, ITS has the potential to significantly reduce the amounts of time which vehicles spend waiting at intersections, and less time spent waiting means less in the way of vehicular emissions. All of that will hardly come as news to most laypeople, let alone transport professionals. However, the reality is that even today too many r
