The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Traffic Engineering Research Laboratory (TERL) has approved 6626 Image Sensing Systems’ RTMS Sx-300 radar detector to its specification 660.

The small pole-mounted radar-based RTMS Sx-300 operates in the microwave band to detect and measure traffic. It simultaneously provides per-lane presence, volume, occupancy, speed and classification information in up to 12 user-defined detection zones.

    Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT) has taken action against would-be wrong-way drivers at 15 interchanges on the state’s turnpike system, with a US$400,000 pilot project designed to detect, alert and potentially deter them. The project includes enhanced LED wrong-way roadway signs on the ramps and electronic vehicle detection equipment that are designed to quickly notify law enforcement and authorities. It is intended to study the effectiveness of these traffic safety devices that are currentl

    Hitting an animal on a rural road can be fatal for all parties involved – but detecting and avoiding them requires clever technology. Andrew Williams carefully scans the horizon for details. Wildlife-vehicle collisions are an ever-present threat in rural areas around the world, and there is certainly nothing funny about suddenly finding an angry moose in your headlights on a sharp bend. A variety of detection and avoidance systems are currently in use or under development to help prevent your vehicle being

    Machine vision techniques hold the potential to solve a multitude of challenges facing the transportation sector Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the base technology for number plate recognition, has been in industrial use for more than three decades. It is a prime example of how, instead of having to start from scratch, the transportation sector can leverage and adapt the machine vision expertise already used in industry in order to provide robust solutions with new capabilities. “The real val
