The latest product in its universal medium range radar (UMRR) range enables advance detection up to 300 metres for cars, and an even higher range for trucks.

Like all smartmicro UMMR sensors, the sensor s able to detect and track individual vehicles in its field of view, simultaneously determining position and speed plus additional information about each vehicle, which is tracked from the time it enters the beam until it leaves the field of view, providing valuable data for advance and dilemma zone approaches, and precise individual object speed information and changes in vehicle speed.

Event trigger module (ETM) software emits trigger signals based on per vehicle presence, speed and expected time of arrival (ETA), with remote internet access, allowing real time traffic data to be streamed over wired internet connection or mobile wireless 3G network.

Despite the lights and sirens, accidents between the motoring public and emergency vehicles on their way to/from the scene of an incident are relatively frequent. Figures from various sources indicate that road accidents are the second most frequent cause of death for on-duty fire fighter fatalities and that more than 90% of ambulance and fire engine accidents occur when the lights are on and the sirens wailing.

  • Wider uses for weigh in motion data

    Colin Sowman talks to Terry Bergan of International Road Dynamics about the latest uses of weigh-in-motion systems. Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.
