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.

    Intertraffic visitors are the first to see a new radar detector from Icoms Detection – the Belgian subsidiary of IRD. The pole-mounted unit, knows as the TMA-13X, has a range of 80 metres, identifies up to 32 vehicles (targets) across three or four lanes of oncoming traffic and can monitor the route vehicles follow through an intersection. According to the company, one TMA-13X unit can replace multiple loops (approach and stop line) without any roadworks and it functions regardless of light conditions

    An impending move to free-flow charging prompted a search for automated dangerous goods identification and over-height detection systems at the Thames Crossing to the east of London. Manned toll booths are increasingly being consigned to history by the onslaught of all-electronic charging. However, a secondary function of the traditional manned plazas has been to prevent non-compliant vehicles using the facility or to tell a driver that that they need to use a specific lane or wait for an escort.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
