4D tracking sensor for mobile ITS

Radar sensor developer Oculii has launched the RFS-M, which it claims is the first real time 4D tracking sensor designed for mobile platforms. The K-Band RFS-M is embedded with IMU and GPS sensors, enabling it to be rotation and motion invariant and making it suitable for mobile ITS and enforcement applications, as well as autonomous vehicle sensor platforms.

Radar sensor developer 8150 Oculii has launched the RFS-M, which it claims is the first real time 4D tracking sensor designed for mobile platforms. The K-Band RFS-M is embedded with IMU and GPS sensors, enabling it to be rotation and motion invariant and making it suitable for mobile ITS and enforcement applications, as well as autonomous vehicle sensor platforms.

The sensor’s 4D technology enables it to maintain target tracks, even when there is zero doppler, for mobile applications in which the doppler signature of targets relative to the platform will be positive, negative or zero. The internal IMU and GPS supplement internal tracking state vectors to remove any transient sources of platform ego-motion, to stabilise target-tracking data. Oculii's 4D radar provides (X, Y, Z) coordinates, range, range-rate, azimuth and elevation angles in real time at an update rate of 20Hz.

    Toll operators and Progeny trade claim and counter claim about the potential ramifications of operating in the 902-928MHz spectrum, as Jon Masters finds out. Two months after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) determined that Progeny can start commercial operation of its NextNav location finding service, the dust has begun to settle. The tolling industry has had a chance to reflect on how this may impact its operations, in the knowledge that NextNav will share the 902-928MHz frequency band with RFI

    Jason Barnes considers the social and ethical ramifications of using in-vehicle safety technologies to fulfil enforcement functions. Although policy documents often imply close correlation between enforcement, compliance and safety – in part, as a counter to accusations that enforcement is rather more concerned with revenue generation – there is a noticeable reluctance among policy makers and auto manufacturers to exploit in-vehicle safety systems for enforcement applications. From a technical perspective t

    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
