UK company 521 CA Traffic has supplied a journey time system, based on its Evo8 ANPR cameras and Evolution software to Costain Carrillion JV as part of the contract to improve the M1 motorway on a 24km section between junctions 10 and 13. The system will provide journey planning information to road users via temporary electronic message signs on the heavily used route that runs from London up to the north of England.

CA Traffic says Evo8 is suitable for permanent installation as a journey time system, or for data collection or security applications. It is also easy to deploy as a portable or temporary installation for origin/destination studies, security checks, or monitoring major road schemes.

Accommodating the deck renewal of a 4km-long/four-lanes in each direction viaduct in the heart of Springfield (Massachusetts’ third largest city), has involved the state’s Department of Transportation (MassDOT) in a massive exercise in transport research and ITS-based area-wide preplanning and traffic management.

This is leading to a number of long-term projects where large stretches of the hard shoulder are closed off by temporary concrete barriers and during these roadwork programmes, temporary CCTV cameras are deployed to monitor and record vehicle traffic and workers.

    Collecting speed and travel time data without using roadside infrastructure could offer new possibilities to cash-strapped road authorities. Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o
