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.

  • Traffic management turns to machine vision
    June 1, 2016
    Traffic engineers can use the latest advances in vision technology to streamline and enhance traffic management. The idea of using one camera to perform all functions at an intersection is attractive to authorities for many reasons and camera supplier Gridsmart says it can make this happen. Its Bell Camera offers a horizon to horizon view that includes the centre of the intersection where vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians cross paths and it can be used for traffic light actuation, traffic data collection a
