UK company 559 AGD has upgraded its AGD 350 traffic control radar, a multi-lane above-ground radar suitable for use on complex junction approaches where stop line detection is required.


The maintenance-free 350 now emulates the function of up to 12 inductive loops, detecting approaching traffic at a range of up to 100m and is said to enhance the effectiveness of high-capacity MOVA and SCATS sites, particularly when partnered with the AGD 318 traffic control radar.

The non-intrusive system can be mounted on existing poles, and features Wi-Fi, AGD Touch-setup to simplify the ground-level configuration of multiple units and integration with controllers while also minimising exposure to traffic risk.

    Jason Gomez and Daniel Mondesir describe how passenger disruption was minimised during a major upgrading of the control room of Miami-Dade’s Metrorail. In 1984 when the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works’ (DTPW) Metrorail system was launched in southern Florida, trains ran 18km along a single line and stopped at 10 stations.

As Intertraff director Toni Marzo states, combining a compact, tripod mounted speed camera with multi-lane radar is a first. “Tripod mounted systems have been popular with police forces around the world for many years but they have either been limited to one lane for enforcement or multi-lane versions are extremely bulky with trailing cab

    A fledgling advanced lane management assist system can take the guesswork out of selecting the right lane on a congested freeway, as its inventor Robert Gordon explains. As drivers we’ve all done it and control room staff see it all the time – motorists on congested freeways switching into what they perceive is a faster lane, only to come to a halt a few moments later and watch vehicles in the other lanes continue to move past. Now, by re-analysing readily available data in an advanced lane management as

    Icoms Detections has added an easy-to-use radar for the detection of stationary vehicles at the stop-line to its I-tersection range. A vehicle approaching or stopping in the targeted activates a relay loop, which is held until the vehicle moves. The advantage over inductive loop technology is the absence of the need for roadworks for installation. The sensor also provides warning of whether vehicles fail to start as expected, because of congestion, obstruction, driver inattention and so on. At this year’s s
