Webinars: Managing highways with traffic sensing

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) has arranged a three-part series of webinars to provide traffic engineers with the tools to better understand what is happening on their roads and how they can improve driver satisfaction and improve efficiency. Session 1, Traffic Sensing 101, is on 22 July at 1300 EDT/1000 PDT and will look at what is driving the recent need to minimise congestion for smooth traffic flow and what trends are driving the need, as well as which applications will shape the future of traffic

542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) has arranged a three-part series of webinars to provide traffic engineers with the tools to better understand what is happening on their roads and how they can improve driver satisfaction and improve efficiency.

Session 1, Traffic Sensing 101, is on 22 July at 1300 EDT/1000 PDT and will look at what is driving the recent need to minimise congestion for smooth traffic flow and what trends are driving the need, as well as which applications will shape the future of traffic management.

Session 2, Why Loops? takes place on 25 August at 1300 EDT/1000 PDT. This session will discuss loops, microwave and video and will review each of the sensor technologies to provide with the resources to make better informed decisions.

Session 3, Bicycle Detection is on 29 September at 1300 EDT/1000 PDT and will discuss how municipalities are using detection technology to know when a bicycle is approaching and what they are doing with the data. Use detection to help make your city greener.

More information and registration details are on GTT’s website.

    David Crawford reviews developments in temporary ITS. Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.

    Fusion Processing’s Jim Hutchinson looks at a two-year trial of the company’s cyclist detection system. Is cycling in a city dangerous? Well, that depends where you are and how you view statistics. Malmö is far more bike-friendly than Mumbai and the risk can either be perceived as small - one death per 29 million miles cycled in the UK in 2013 - or large - that equated to 109 deaths in the same year. Whatever your personal take on the data, the effect of these accidents can be felt indirectly too. News of c

    Real time active traffic management improves travel times
    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat
