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.

Blueprints for the safer road tunnels of the future are emerging fast as European operators invest in technologies to enhance travellers’ prospects of surviving an accident. Central to modern emergency planning is the principle that, following an incident, drivers should be enabled to rescue themselves and their passengers with the aid of prompt and correct identification and communication of the hazard.

    Navtech Radar will be showcasing its new CTS350-X long range radar, the latest unit in its ClearWay automatic incident detection radar system, at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014. ClearWay is an all-weather radar system which provides a way of automatically detecting incidents, including stopped vehicles, people and debris on strategic roads, bridges and in tunnels. It uses high frequency radar to scan the whole road surface, both up and downstream. The radar detects objects and then tracking software, which

    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo
