Citilog takes part in Sochi Winter Olympics

Citilog is helping to contribute to the success of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games by providing its XCam-ng video traffic sensors to measure traffic queues at intersections and minimise the impact of the increased traffic on the event and on citizens.

371 Citilog is helping to contribute to the success of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games by providing its XCam-ng video traffic sensors to measure traffic queues at intersections and minimise the impact of the increased traffic on the event and on citizens.

XCam-ng sensors are designed to replace or expand on in-road magnetic loop detectors with advanced vehicle detection functions such as real time queue measurement or intersection gridlock monitoring.

Ideal for use at intersections and on-ramps, XCam sensors measure vehicle queues in real time, allowing traffic signal cycles to be adapted to optimise traffic flow.

By reducing the waiting time at the intersection by 10 to 15 per cent on average, the traffic management system reduces in the same proportion the emission of pollution and greenhouse gases emissions.

Citilog will also take part in the Summer Olympics in Rio in 2016 since its XCam sensors have been deployed along the intersections of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) linking Rio to its suburbs.

    A new report says car-centric planning leads to inefficient cities and divided communities as lead author Todd Litman explains. Between 1950 and 2050 the human population will have approximately quadrupled and shifted from 80% rural to nearly 80% urban; by the middle of this century the United Nations predicts an additional 2.2 billion urban residents in developing countries than there are today.

    Navtech Radar's millimetric-wave systems are being researched on the M42 in England to look into how this type of detector can assist in the opening of the hard shoulder as an additional running lane. Here, the company's Stephen Clark talks about the technology being used. In England, the Highways Agency's (the HA, an executive agency of the Department for Transport) Managed Motorways system - formerly called Active Traffic Management - uses electronic signs and signals mounted on gantries to direct drivers
