ADEC traffic detector

ADEC Technologies has released a simple short- to medium-range Doppler radar-based traffic detector, which features a novel accessory. As Product Manager Markus Güntensperger points out, the commissioning interface of any detector often leads to a compromise between longevity and versatility. "We felt that neither DIP switches nor additional connectors optimally serve the temporary nature of the commissioning task, but a simple IR remote control device does," he says.

1803 ADEC Technologies has released a simple short- to medium-range Doppler radar-based traffic detector, which features a novel accessory. As Product Manager Markus Güntensperger points out, the commissioning interface of any detector often leads to a compromise between longevity and versatility. "We felt that neither DIP switches nor additional connectors optimally serve the temporary nature of the commissioning task, but a simple IR remote control device does," he says.

Besides the novel approach to set application specific parameters via IR remote, the device features a detection range up to 30m at an opening angle of 25o. Output is provided via SPDT relays and feedback LEDs on the front. It can be powered from a wide range of supplies, accepting 5-60VDC or 24VAC.

Typical applications include green-phase requests at traffic lights (mobile and stationary), speed-dependent detection of vehicles and auto-operation of doors and gates.

One of the key trends, particularly in the UK but also evident elsewhere, is the increase in average speed enforcement, according to RedSpeed’s managing director Robert Ryan, who predicts a big increase in installations this year. “The price point has reached a level authorities can afford,” he says, a

    Deryk Whyte provides an overview of how the New Zealand Transport Agency's InfoConnect concept was developed. Historically, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) (formerly Transit New Zealand) has faced challenges in communicating effectively with road users, its customers, about highway-related events or incidents in a timely, accurate manner. Prior to 2007, Transit relied on a third-party organisation to collect and disseminate national road condition information. This often resulted in incomplete infor
