Stalker Radar’s new sensor tracks vehicles up to 400m

Stalker Radar claims its new Stationary Speed Sensor II’s narrow (6°) beam is lane specific and can accurately detect and track up to ten vehicles in a single lane at distances of up to 400 meters. The 6° x 26° sensor is small size and light weight with a broad operating temperature and low power consumption, allowing it to be used in a range of environments and applications, while its target recognition/filtering settings enable it to adapt to any type vehicle or road condition.

7624 Stalker Radar claims its new Stationary Speed Sensor II’s narrow (6°) beam is lane specific and can accurately detect and track up to ten vehicles in a single lane at distances of up to 400 meters.

The 6° x 26° sensor is small size and light weight with a broad operating temperature and low power consumption, allowing it to be used in a range of environments and applications, while its target recognition/filtering settings enable it to adapt to any type vehicle or road condition. Three communications ports and 14 data protocols allow it to easily interface with cameras, signs, traffic controls, statistical applications or other systems that require reliable and accurate speed measurement.

For traffic analysis, a narrow-beam sensor with on-board traffic statistics capability, coupled with Stalker’s Traffic Statistics App is said to offer a comprehensive solution, presenting data in a graphing window.

    Houston Radar has released its low power side-fire radar, SpeedLane. It has been designed with the intention of detecting lane, speed and class of individual vehicles and compute per-lane volume, occupancy, gap, average speed, 85th percentile and headway parameters. The device can be mounted on the side of the road for traffic data collection and works in all weather and lighting conditions. Additionally, it measures all vehicles in eight user defined lanes and all traffic measurements are on per-vehicle

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
