Ultrasonic vehicle detector needs no loops
8229 EMX’s Drive Thru ultrasonic vehicle sensor, USVD-4X, uses patent pending triangular planar array technology to detect the presence of a vehicle and is suitable for any drive-through operation including parking. The post- or wall-mounted detection head consists of four ultrasonic transducers and an internal microprocessor-based control board and is aimed at the vehicle entrance to initiate a transaction.

In operation the sensor scans the expected location for a vehicle and on detection activates its output without the need for any in-ground hardware.

    Richard Turnock, chief technology officer of Kapsch TrafficCom North America explains what advantages its newly-opened TDM protocol can offer as a US-wide standard for tolling interoperability. The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry

    An impending move to free-flow charging prompted a search for automated dangerous goods identification and over-height detection systems at the Thames Crossing to the east of London. Manned toll booths are increasingly being consigned to history by the onslaught of all-electronic charging. However, a secondary function of the traditional manned plazas has been to prevent non-compliant vehicles using the facility or to tell a driver that that they need to use a specific lane or wait for an escort.

    Aipark is using Intertraffic to highlight its Internet of Things device that aims to monitor parking spot availability. Called ParkingSensor, the product is generally mounted to light poles or buildings and detects parked vehicles in its field view. One sensor is said to capture the availability of 20 parking spots in real time. The information is then sent to connected apps, car infotainment systems or management tools for efficient last mile navigation. Its patent pending system uses a cloud backend to p
