Navtech launches automatic incident detection radar

Navtech Radar’s latest radar-based automatic incident detection (AID) solutions for traffic management applications CTS350-X is, according to the company, suitable for use in tunnels, bridges and strategic roads. Easy to install and significantly smaller than previous models, and with a vehicle detection range of 500m, the radar gives very low numbers of false alarms – typically one per 1 kilometre per 24 hours. It is suitable for use in geographical regions where inclement weather, rain, fog, snow, sand
