EMX launches new loop-less vehicle detector

The CarSense CS303-L Logic Interface from EMX Industries expands the application of CS303 magneto-resistive vehicle sensors into single, two channel and directional detection installations.

The CarSense CS303-L Logic Interface from 7630 EMX Industries expands the application of CS303 magneto-resistive vehicle sensors into single, two channel and directional detection installations.

While the new sensor is less intrusive then an inductive loop and requires less maintenance, the CS303-L logic interface allows users to configure it as a single or two-channel inductive vehicle detector. The ability to operate the CS303 in a closing loop, vehicle counting and other inductive vehicle detector applications, while also allowing detect on stop and detection axis optimisation, makes it suitable for parking and access control.

The sensors can be retrofitted in an old inductive loop cut or over the existing loops without any interference and rebar has no operational influence on the magneto-resistive sensors.

    With the Idris system now validated as a speed verification tool, the way is open for loops to be used in more complex enforcement applications. Diamond Consulting Services (DCS), developer of the Idris inductive loop-based vehicle detection and classification system, has recently successfully conducted validation trials which, the company says, open the way for Idris to be used for speed verification and loop-based sensors to be used for more complex applications such as speed-on-green and differential spe

    Jim Leslie, manager of ITS applications engineering at the Econolite Group looks at practical steps in transitioning from closed-loop masters to a centralised ATMS. Not many years ago the standard method of coordinating signalised intersections in local areas was to install an on-street master – each of which monitored and controlled a limited number of signal controllers or intersections as a closed-loop system. And, to a certain extent, each closed-loop system was autonomous from others deployed by the ag

    Virginia DoT faced a challenge common to many highway authorities around the world: the need, in economically challenging times, to replace ageing variable message signs reaching the end of their operational life. For some 25 years now, since the mid 80s, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDoT), has deployed variable message signs (VMS) as part of its motorist information systems. Throughout the state there are still many old 'flip-disk' signs. Some of the companies that provided these electronic messa

    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person
