Vehicle detection with speed, class and count in a single loop

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT), have added speed, class and count to detection capabilities to their Canoga 9000 series, in a single width four-channel traffic management card. Historically, two cards were needed to obtain the same information. Canoga includes Ethernet so it can connect to GTT’s central management software (CMS), which enables traffic engineers to access key data, run customised reports, and receive maintenance alerts—all in real time, all from a remote location.

542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT), have added speed, class and count to detection capabilities to their Canoga 9000 series, in a single width four-channel traffic management card. Historically, two cards were needed to obtain the same information.

 Canoga includes Ethernet so it can connect to GTT’s central management software (CMS), which enables traffic engineers to access key data, run customised reports, and receive maintenance alerts—all in real time, all from a remote location.
 
Engineers can use the device to adjust timing for signalised intersections, to record state- and federal-mandated traffic counts, or just for a more accurate count of the number of vehicles on the road.
 
The new cards are easily interchanged with sensors already installed and can also be used to capture information about vehicles in parking lots, or information about bicyclists in bike lanes.

“The Canoga 9000 Series sets a new standard for traffic sensing technology,” said Tim Hall, GTT’s Market Development director. “With our innovative, single-loop technology, traffic engineers can use a single card to obtain information that traditionally requires two sets of cards and sensors. Our new technology provides more information with less guesswork, so engineers can make more accurate decisions that improve traffic flow and enhance safety.”

    The announcement that, in 2012/13, work to extend Managed Motorways to Junctions 5-8 of the M6 near Birmingham in the West Midlands is scheduled to start marks the next step for the UK's hard shoulder running concept, first introduced on the M42 in 2006. The M6 scheme is in fact one of several announced; over the next few years work will start on applying Managed Motorways to various sections of the M1, M25 London Orbital, M60 and M62.

    Field trials under way in Arizona promise eradication of accidents between emergency vehicles at intersections – as part of a national focus on ‘intelligent signal’ infrastructure. Collisions between police cars, ambulances and fire crews as they reach intersections at the same time, with equal priority given by all signals set on red, are as serious as they sound absurd. For emergency teams and those in need of their help, the consequences are dire. The solution could come from application of connected veh
