Clearview M301 and M302 smart parking sensors
557 Clearview Traffic Group has expanded its M300 wireless occupancy detection range to provide solutions for both on and off-street parking with the M301, a surface-mounted sensor for parking bay monitoring, and the M302 which is a flush mounted sensor that is embedded into the road surface. Clearview also offers a version of the sensors for detection of larger vehicles such as HGVs, trucks and coaches.

The sensors use technology that has been designed to accurately detect the presence of a vehicle in a defined zone including over prolonged occupancy, making them suitable for deployment across a wide range of applications, such as parking space occupancy, parking bay monitoring, dynamic parking payment schemes, lorry parking applications, emergency refuge areas, taxi ranks and even monitoring of no parking zones.

A web browser interface displays occupancy data and analysis from the sensors, allowing simple integration with third party information systems. Data output can be displayed on variable message signs or used to inform other real-time travel information services such as mobile apps.

    David Crawford parallel parks with innovations in two continents. Surveys of US cities indicate that drivers searching for parking can account for up to 37% of all urban traffic congestion. A 2011 study by IBM of 20 cities around the world found that nearly six out of ten drivers had abandoned their search for a parking space at least once; while motorists generally spent on average 20 minutes looking for a sought-after spot.

    David Crawford reviews developments in temporary ITS. Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.

    Navtech Radar's millimetric-wave systems are being researched on the M42 in England to look into how this type of detector can assist in the opening of the hard shoulder as an additional running lane. Here, the company's Stephen Clark talks about the technology being used. In England, the Highways Agency's (the HA, an executive agency of the Department for Transport) Managed Motorways system - formerly called Active Traffic Management - uses electronic signs and signals mounted on gantries to direct drivers
