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.

A semi-trailer truck with a wheel temperature exceeding 200 degrees centigrade triggered the alarm as it passed the hot spot detector. Closer inspection indicated that in addition to the overheated brake, the vehicle was also travelling with two cracked brake discs.

    Currently deployed technology is being used to detect motorists ignoring the ‘red-X’ signs that indicate the lane is closed, as Colin Sowman hears. With an increasing network of ‘Smart Motorways’ - all-lane running or the opening of hard shoulders during times of congestion - Highways England (HE) has identified a growing problem with ‘red-X’ compliance. The ‘red-X’ sign signifies a closed lane or lanes and used to provide a safer area for stranded motorists, emergency workers or road maintenance crews and

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
