Safer data collection

Miovision Technologies has launched Scout, its nextgeneration video collection unit that is small enough to fit into a car and allows users to automatically collect traffic data in three simple steps using one device. Users can automate up to eight study types including intersection, roundabout and ADT counts, automatic number plate recognition, origin-destination and travel time studies. Miovision says Scout's comprehensive reporting allows users to extract the information they need with ease.

    What's next for traffic management and data collection?
    As the technologies and stakeholders in traffic management evolve, what can we expect to see happening in the coming years? For many, the conversation of the moment is just how, and how far, the newer technologies and services provided principally by the private sector should be allowed to intrude into the realms of traffic management.

    Gridsmart deploys new traffic-time collection system in home city
    At no cost to the city or its tax-payers, local transportation solutions company Gridsmart has deployed six of its new Streetsmart wi-fi traffic-time collection system in its home city of Knoxville. The new six-intersection traffic management area will provide real-time, comprehensive travel times, congestion mapping and traffic count data, allowing the city to study and better manage travel trends at major intersections, potentially reducing congestion. Streetsmart uses wi-fi signals generated in vehicles

    Communications hold key to expanding ITS wireless network expansion
    Wireless transmission of data and control information is making smarter traffic management easier and cheaper to install. It has long been known that connectivity is the key to improving traffic management and many cost-benefit studies prove that investment in new technology can be justified in terms of reduced congestion, shorter travel times, improved safety and air quality. However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offer new options for travel time measurements
    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
