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.

    Refurbishing old dynamic message signs can save money and increase technical capabilities as David Crawford discovers. Evidence is growing on both sides of the Atlantic of the scope for retrofitting old or technically out-of-date dynamic message signs (DMS) with new electronic equipment, to save on the costs of installing full-scale replacements. In the last four months of 2014, a number of US states progressed programmes that achieved savings of more than US$1.75 million (€1.56million).
