Siemens enhances loop detector

Siemens has enhanced the functionality of its SLD4 loop detector which now features length-based classification with configurable outputs which can be set to activate when specific conditions are detected, such as large vehicles exceeding a predefined speed. The detectors offer standard vehicle detection and are also suitable for use in bus, tram and light rail transport (LRT) schemes and other applications where high detection accuracy is required.

Siemens SLD4 loop detector
189 Siemens has enhanced the functionality of its SLD4 loop detector which now features length-based classification with configurable outputs which can be set to activate when specific conditions are detected, such as large vehicles exceeding a predefined speed.

The detectors offer standard vehicle detection and are also suitable for use in bus, tram and light rail transport (LRT) schemes and other applications where high detection accuracy is required.

Designed for maximum reliability and using the latest inductive loop detection algorithms, SLD4 detectors are fully compliant with UK specification TR2512 and provide four separate detection channels with full solid-state outputs. For challenging or special applications, a PC support tool enables many aspects of the detector’s functions to be accessed for specific deployments.

The detectors may be powered from either AC or DC supplies. Low power requirements, with operation possible at voltages as low as 10V DC, makes support within battery powered equipment a viable option.

    Siemens systems for Nottingham trams, Dubai metro
    Construction work has started on Nottingham's expanding tram network to extend the service to the south and southwest of the city. The extension will more than double the size of Nottingham's tram network with 17.5 kilometres of new track and 28 new tram stops. As part of the project, Siemens will supply and install 33 new ST950 extra low voltage (ELV) junction controllers, eight signalised pedestrian crossings and 80 ELV tram signals. Junction controllers at a number of existing sites will also be upgra

    Wireless traffic data in real time
    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    Wireless - the future of vehicle detection
    Peter Cattell of Clearview Traffic analyses different wireless communications methods and explains how these are changing the face of vehicle detection. With the continued expansion of traffic data collection solutions, providing a robust, reliable, scalable and secure method of collecting information becomes increasingly important. Over many years, various mobile wireless technologies have been utilised to make the remote collection of data a reality but recent developments are changing the way that this w
