The Canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland has opted for the latest generation of 557 Clearview Traffic’s M680 loop classifier system, following its long-term use of the company’s M660 system.

According to Clearview, the M680 delivers precise, reliable and impressive download data with rapid response times. The system enables data to be classified according to the Swiss10 scheme, the official classification requirement in Switzerland adopted by road authorities through OFROU. With a number of options available the product can be configured by the systems integrator or the user for most traffic monitoring applications using inductive loops.

The new units will work in tandem with existing M660 units to conduct semi-permanent loop surveys, while the original M660 units will now carry out tube only based surveys.

    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

    New enforcement equipment is coming onto the market apace, as Colin Sowman discovers. If there is one word that epitomises the current trend in enforcement technology then that word is consolidation: multi-function cameras, miniaturisation and combining radar and visual detection methods. One example is Turkish company Ekin Technology’s recently introduced Micro Plate is claimed to be the smallest licence plate recognition device. In addition to logging licence plate data, the system records speed, date, ti

    Wireless transmission of data and control information is making smarter traffic management easier and cheaper to install. It has long been known that connectivity is the key to improving traffic management and many cost-benefit studies prove that investment in new technology can be justified in terms of reduced congestion, shorter travel times, improved safety and air quality. However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to
