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.”

With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.
