189 Siemens Building Technologies is introducing the next generation of its FibroLaser line heat detection system, which is based on a fibre-optic cable and suited for road and train tunnels as well as for industrial applications. The third generation of this fire safety solution offers even faster and more precise detection over an area of up to 2x10km in length. Each zone of up to 1,000 alarms can be configured for different criteria and used to control functions such as alarm elements, ventilation, or lighting. The FibroLaser III controller operates in an ambient temperature range from -10° to 60°C and requires no fans for cooling. The fire safety solution is complemented by new FibroManager control software.

    Colin Sowman looks at some of the challenges and solutions that will provide enhanced transport efficiency in tomorrow’s smarter cities. However you define a ‘smart city’, one of the key ingredients will be an efficient transport system. As most governments and city authorities face financial constraints, incremental improvements in the existing systems is the most likely way forward.

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    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
