Swiss manufacturer of non-intrusive road-traffic detectors 1803 ADEC Technologies has extended its range of Doppler radar traffic detectors with the 75 metre detection range of the TDD1-MW75, which is specifically designed for green phase request or extension at temporary or permanent traffic lights.

The detector augments the TDD1 series of Doppler radar traffic detectors that provide simple contact closure output and allow for easy customisation using an infrared remote.

The TDD1-MW75 can be configured for detection ranges of 30, 45 and 75 metres using the infrared remote control, available as an accessory.

The system, implemented by Siemens, uses two Flir cameras. The safe walk camera observes the waiting area. A stereo camera with two CMOS 1/3-inch mono sensors and 3 mm lenses is mounted 3.5 metres above the ground to cover an area of 12 sq m. This camera is set to recognise on
