Flexible above ground radar detection

AGD Systems comes to Traffex with a range of new developments, such as the new Janus5 MRWL, which can provide information wirelessly up to 550m in urban and inter-urban environments, giving significant advantages over expensive underground ducting. Meanwhile, the AGD307 is a new compact, low-power 24GHz radar family that lends itself to deployment worldwide.

559 AGD Systems comes to 136 Traffex with a range of new developments, such as the new Janus5 MRWL, which can provide information wirelessly up to 550m in urban and inter-urban environments, giving significant advantages over expensive underground ducting. Meanwhile, the AGD307 is a new compact, low-power 24GHz radar family that lends itself to deployment worldwide. The smallest detector ever produced in AGD history, the device will offer considerable user flexibility of deployment for applications from junction control to sign and speed measurement applications. Models will include basic switched versions and also RS422-enabled communications for more demanding sign applications.

    According to Ertico, the future of traffic management on urban and inter-urban networks will rely on direct communication and interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure, using new technologies called cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) that support real-time exchange of traffic data. This cooperation can enable a wide range of applications such as vehicle-sourced data collection, green light and speed advice, automated hazard detection, selective vehicle priority, dynamic city logisti

    David Crawford looks at new technologies to cope with the age-old problem of driving in bad weather. On the 10-year average, between 2005 and 2014 bad weather contributed to more than 1.5 million vehicle crashes in the US each year, resulting in more than 800,000 injuries and 7,400 deaths. These were the findings of analysis by Booz Allen Hamilton of NHTSA data which concluded that the loss of life, hospital treatment and damage to assets costs an annual average of $42bn.

    Drivewyze aims to revolutionise the way weighstation bypass systems work with its Pre-Clear system. And it’s not just looking at weighstations, either… Pete Goldin reports. Truck drivers know the drill: pull off the high­way at every weighstation and wait. Carriers know the drill, too: every minute spent waiting there translates directly into dollars lost. Traditionally, the only alternative to this scenario is a transponder-based system, which allows trucks to bypass the sites using technology similar to
  • Development of cooperative driving applications for work zones
    July 17, 2012
    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.
