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.

    The Finnish Meteorological Institute is currently testing two-way delivery of local weather data as Timo Sukuvaara explains. Road weather information is one of the key ways in which ITS can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities – which is why the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has long provided road weather services. Now, the CoMoSeF (Cooperative Mobility Services of the Future) project has been developing communication methodologies to deliver road weather services directly to vehicles and g

Well-established now in at least three European countries, Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) on motorways is exciting growing interest in the US. A November 2010 Report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the Efficient Use of Highway Capacity, notes the role of HSR in the European-style Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies now being recommended for implementation in the US where, until recently, they were virtually unknown.
