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.

    Buses can play a key role in the battle to improve air quality in towns and cities as David Crawford discovers. A city with a population of half a million would gain about US$12.3 million in annualised societal savings if all its buses ran on electricity instead of diesel. This is the conclusion of a wide-ranging analysis carried out by Swedish bus manufacturer Volvo Group and global business consultants KPMG.

    Adrian Greeman looks at developments in software visualisation packages. The capacity to make visualisations has been growing in importance over the last decade, and is now a well-accepted part of consultations and client presentations. But making high-quality images of projects is still a major undertaking and larger consultancies employ specialist departments to do so. Costs are coming down but it can still take a while, and some high-capacity hardware, to produce realistic renderings from drawings and 3D
