Navtech Radar launches tunnel safety solution

Navtech Radar has launched a sensor to complement its ClearWay solution and provide automatic incident detection (AID) coverage in highways and tunnels for 175m in both directions. Phil Avery, the company’s managing director, claims that the solution is ideal for applications where line-of-sight is limited. Called CTS175, the solution features Clearview’s AID solution and can be used for traffic applications, including roads, tunnels and bridges.

819 Navtech Radar has launched a sensor to complement its ClearWay solution and provide automatic incident detection (AID) coverage in highways and tunnels for 175m in both directions. Phil Avery, the company’s managing director, claims that the solution is ideal for applications where line-of-sight is limited.


Called CTS175, the solution features Clearview’s AID solution and can be used for traffic applications, including roads, tunnels and bridges.

The company says that a choice of two sensors gives maximum flexibility and enables a more cost-effective solution for shorter range applications.

    The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in Ontario, Canada, where collisions with wild animals cost the province more than US$95 million annually, has installed wildlife sensor and alert systems to reduce the number of animal-vehicle collisions on its highways. The MTO has installed two types of systems – one uses laser tripwires to detect animals and the other uses radar, an alternative that was found to address some of the challenges posed by laser systems. Neither system has yet been determined to be

Andrew Bardin Williams considers the pros and cons. Drawn in by the promise of Smart City initiatives, communities across North America are embracing smart parking solutions in an effort to change citizens’ transportation behaviours for the better. They are doing this by using policy and ITS solutions to help de-incentivise parking for most people while

    Escort has announced the launch of what it claims to be the first radar and laser detector designed for connected cars (CCs) to alert drivers of the latest ticket threats in real-time. Through built in Wi-Fi, the Escort Max 360c (EM360) updates drivers through the vehicles on board connection. The EM360 connects directly to the CC’s Wi-FI and automatically connects to the real-time ticket-protection network, Escort Live (EL), without needing the smartphone to connect to the detector. It is designed with
