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.

    Urban traffic control is a well-defined and practised art. Nevertheless, there are technologies here and on the horizon with the potential to revolutionise how we do things. By Gavin Jackman and Andrew Kirkham, TRL, and Jason Barnes. Distributed monitoring and control of urban traffic networks and flows is nothing new. PC-based Urban Traffic Control (UTC) is now well established and operating in many locations around the world. However, it is worth considering the effects of the huge growth in the use of sm

    Traficon's Head of Product and Application Management Robin Collaert offers up a discussion of the likely future green requirements of traffic video systems. At the most basic levels, ITS has the potential to significantly reduce the amounts of time which vehicles spend waiting at intersections, and less time spent waiting means less in the way of vehicular emissions. All of that will hardly come as news to most laypeople, let alone transport professionals. However, the reality is that even today too many r

    By 2050, the Europe Commission aims to make transport in Europe carbon- and accident-free. Between now and then, however, a significant technological development and deployment effort is needed. Here, Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda, talks about what's being done. In many respects, COOPERS, CVIS and SAFESPOT, set up by the European Commission (EC) to explore the potential of cooperative infrastructure systems, are already legacy projects. Between them, the three devel
