Swiss manufacturer of non-intrusive traffic and parking detectors 1803 ADEC technologies has supplied 100 TDC3-2 (TLS 2+0) overhead traffic detectors for the new control system being installed on the A3 road project in Germany. The contract includes 29 display panels with traffic detection systems.


The TDC3 Series is a family of advanced traffic detectors using Doppler radar, ultrasound and passive infrared to provide comprehensive traffic data for each vehicle, including vehicle class, speed, length, occupancy time and time gap.

Installed in cooperation with system integrator QSG Verkehrstechnik, the newly-constructed traffic control system covers over a distance of around 20 kilometres and completes the currently-existing systems.

    Colin Sowman looks at some of the challenges and solutions that will provide enhanced transport efficiency in tomorrow’s smarter cities. However you define a ‘smart city’, one of the key ingredients will be an efficient transport system. As most governments and city authorities face financial constraints, incremental improvements in the existing systems is the most likely way forward. In London, new trains and signalling are improving the capacity of the Underground but that then reveals previously

    The Department of Transport (DoT) in Abu Dhabi has commenced work on a US$9 million adaptive traffic control central system project, which is expected to be completed by early 2015. The project will see the implementation of a new Scoot (Split Cycle Offset Optimisation Technique) adaptive traffic control system to improve traffic flow at the capital’s 125 main signalised junctions. Scoot, installed in more than 120 cities worldwide, is a tool for managing and controlling traffic signals in urban areas.

  • Sick shows smart sensors at Intertraffic

    Sick is highlighting three innovations on its stand: an automated hot spot detector, an integrated tunnel sensor and a vehicle profiling system. The VHD Pro (vehicle hotspot detector) combines laser-based 3D modelling and infrared imaging to automatically differentiate between allowable hot spots (such as engines and transmissions) and those which could result in a fire. Without the need for human oversight, the system can detect a worrying hot spot (brakes or load) on a vehicle in less than five seconds. T
