Gridsmart Technologies returns to 136 Traffex this year to discuss its new innovations and international approvals, especially the 1841 UK Highways Agency and RTA Victoria certification for its Gridsmart single-camera, tracking-based vision solution for actuation and data collection at intersections and on highways.

With the release of Gridsmart 5.0, the company is introducing Gridsmart Cloud, which allows traffic professionals to use laptop computers to design, organise, configure and manage intersections exactly as they want, and not how the product dictates it should be.   

With Gridsmart Cloud, the design is protected and secured each time their laptop connects to the internet, as well as synchronised with other professionals who may be working on the design.  Training on using Cloud typically takes 30 minutes or less.  

“With Gridsmart Cloud, no time is spent considering how to back up or synchronise configurations between users,” said Dr Jeffery Price, chief of Technology. “With large deployments our partners have multiple technicians designing and configuring intersections, highways, and other data collection sites.  Gridsmart’s history feature and revert functionality has always remembered their work, enabling multiple plan options and numerous generations of change history.  Now, each professional’s work is safely stored in Cloud automatically and can be shared with their co-workers simply by connecting to the internet,” concludes Price.

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offer new options for travel time measurements
    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    Machine vision offers new solutions to old problems
    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person

    Maintaining momentum: learning lessons from the London Olympics
    Japan will not only host this year’s ITS World Congress but has been selected for the 2020 Olympics. So what can Japan, and indeed Brazil, learn from the traffic management for London 2012 - Geoff Hadwick finds out. It was a key moment when Olympic boss Jacques Rogge signed off London 2012, calling the Games “happy and glorious.” Scarred by the logistical disaster of Atlanta 1996 and the last-minute building panic for Athens 2008, Rogge clearly thought London 2012 was an object lesson in how to plan and
