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.

    Jason Barnes looks at where the detection and monitoring sector is heading. In the future, there will be no such thing as an un-instrumented road. Just a short time ago, that could have been a quote from a high-level policy document but with the first arrivals of vehicles with 802.11p connectivity – the door-opener to Vehicle-to-X (V2X) applications – it’s a statement which has increasing validity. The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only

    Optex to exhibit Viik vehicle detectors at Intertraffic 2018
    Optex will showcase two above ground ViiK vehicle detectors in Europe, Middle East and Africa at Intertraffic, in Amsterdam. The solutions are said to be ideal for sites where ground loops cannot be installed, such as where the road surface is damaged, unsealed, paved with cobblestones or above drains or pipes. The OVS-01GT is said to be designed for gate, barrier or industrial door activation and combines microwave with ultrasonic technology to sense a vehicle’s movement and presence. It is suited for

    Measuring vehicle lengths with a single loop - promising results
    District 7 of Caltrans has been conducting trials to see whether the use of a single inductive loop to measure vehicle lengths and so identify heavy trucks is feasible. So far, the results have been very promising, according to Lead Transportation Engineer Steve Malkson. Between them, the adjoining ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the US's two biggest, cover some 10,700 acres (43km2) and 68 miles (109km) of waterfront.

    Wavetronix radar-based traffic sensor cuts costs
    While initial cost of radar based detection may be higher than that traditional loops, lower maintenance costs more than balance the books. Following successful field tests, the US city of Greenville, North Carolina, has recently agreed a new policy of phasing in Wavetronix traffic sensor technology’s radar-based SmartSensor Matrix system across its signalised traffic intersections. City traffic engineer Rik DiCesare expects the incremental implementation to deliver benefits to both the city’s taxpayers an
