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.

    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no

    Optimisation of traffic signals is often seen as a challenging and expensive task, requiring inductive loops, cameras or manual counting for traffic monitoring. However, a new development from Danish wireless technology company Blip Systems aims to change that. BlipTrack uses a combination of Bluetooth and wi-fi to constantly monitor and map traffic flow. The system detects all vehicles containing Bluetooth or wi-fi enabled devices to provide accurate traffic data, enabling real-time traffic monitoring a

The rapidly increasing scale of some Road User Charging (RUC) schemes, both current and proposed, presents systems developers and manufacturers with significant opportunities in terms of product sales. However, it also presents them with significant challenges - and size is but one part – as at regional, national and international lev

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.
