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.

    A mobile road weather sensor is providing authorities with new options for monitoring road conditions and winter maintenance operations. Road and traffic engineers know the vulnerable points in their network – cold spots where ice forms first, high-banked roads where snow accumulates, fog pockets… Traditionally, most authorities will position weather stations at these points to detect and monitor road conditions during bad weather events.

The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry
