Vehicle detector

Swedish company ABC-CAD Elektronik has announced a new vehicle detector, the ABC043. The device, which has a built-in PIC processor for intelligent control, features automatic calibration with the attached loop. Sensitivity and trigger level can be adjusted in 10 different states. A 10 LED bar graph shows the signal level and can be used for adjustment of sensitivity, trigger level and pulse/presence.

Swedish company 549 ABC-CAD Elektronik has announced a new vehicle detector, the ABC043. The device, which has a built-in PIC processor for intelligent control, features automatic calibration with the attached loop. Sensitivity and trigger level can be adjusted in 10 different states. A 10 LED bar graph shows the signal level and can be used for adjustment of sensitivity, trigger level and pulse/presence. All parameters are saved in EE-memory. Housed in a standard DIN rail-box 17.5mm wide, the detector works with a 12V power supply and can be adapted to customer needs.

    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case
