At this year’s IMSA (International Municipal Signal Association) Conference, currently being staged in Orlando, Florida, traffic video specialist Traficon is presenting new traffic detection products that are aimed at the US intersection market. A first innovation is Traficon’s VIP-Bike detection board, which aims at improving safety and efficiency for bicyclists at signalised intersections. A second innovation is the TrafiRadar vehicle presence sensor, which combines a video sensor and a radar detector.
At this year’s IMSA (International Municipal Signal Association) Conference, currently being staged in Orlando, Florida, traffic video specialist 5574 Traficon is presenting new traffic detection products that are aimed at the US intersection market. A first innovation is Traficon’s VIP-Bike detection board, which aims at improving safety and efficiency for bicyclists at signalised intersections. A second innovation is the TrafiRadar vehicle presence sensor, which combines a video sensor and a radar detector.
Traficon’s VIP Bike detection board analyses images from thermal cameras in order to detect bicycles approaching or waiting at the intersection on multiple lanes. The device provides four contact closures or serial information to the traffic light controller to indicate presence of bikes: one for thru lanes, one for left turn lanes, one for right turn lanes and one for dedicated bike lanes. VIP Bike also provides bike counting information.
Meanwhile, the new TrafiRadar vehicle presence sensor is a combination of a video sensor with radar, and has been designed to improve traffic safety and efficiency at signalised intersections. The system provides vehicle detection information to the traffic light controller for stop bar and advance detection, for traffic adaptive applications and for dilemma zone protection.
