AGD Systems launches highways monitoring radar

UK ITS manufacturer AGD Systems says its 343 Highways Monitoring Radar provides real-time data on multiple lanes and improves highway safety. The radar collects traffic flow data on the network and replaces loop technology to monitor lanes on inter-urban routes. Ian Hind, commercial director at AGD Systems, says the solution employs enforcement-grade radar and measurement techniques to quantify speed, range and length of passing vehicles. “The radar allows instant decision-making in determining whether t

UK ITS manufacturer 559 AGD Systems says its 343 Highways Monitoring Radar provides real-time data on multiple lanes and improves highway safety.


The radar collects traffic flow data on the network and replaces loop technology to monitor lanes on inter-urban routes.

Ian Hind, commercial director at AGD Systems, says the solution employs enforcement-grade radar and measurement techniques to quantify speed, range and length of passing vehicles.

“The radar allows instant decision-making in determining whether traffic is free-moving, slowing or starting to queue,” Hind adds.
