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.

    Jason Barnes looks at Daimler’s Intelligent Drive programme to consider how machine vision has advanced the state of the art of vision-based in-vehicle systems. Traditionally, radar was the in-vehicle Driver Assistance System (DAS) technology of choice, particularly for applications such as adaptive cruise control and pre-crash warning generation. Although vision-based technology has made greater inroads more recently, it is not a case of ‘one sensor wins’. Radar and vision are complementary and redundancy

    New ways of gathering data can revolutionise traffic and travel management, so is the writing on the wall for the traditional methods? Jon Masters reports. There are two big industries that stand to be revolutionised by massive increases in data – healthcare and transportation, says Finlay Clarke, the UK managing director of the smartphone sat nav traffic app, Waze. “At present we’re really only at the start of how cities, in particular, will be transformed,” he says.
