6626 Image Sensing Systems’ non-intrusive radar-based Autoscope RTMS Sx-300 advanced traffic sensor operates in the microwave band to provide a complete, cost-effective above-ground traffic detection solution.

The device’s all-in-one concept combines a high resolution radar and a variety of communications options including wireless solutions all in a single enclosure. This sleek cabinet-free detection station is simple to integrate into any system, whether urban signal control or highway traffic management.

The pole-mounted sensor provides per-lane presence as well as volume, occupancy, speed and classification information in up to 12 user-defined detection zones.

Output information is provided to existing controllers via contact closure and to other computing systems by serial or TCP/IP communication port. A single radar can replace multiple inductive loop detectors.

    Pete Goldin reports on a new Egis project in Canada, providing open road tolling operations for the widest bridge in the world. A bridge can present a bottleneck in a system of roads or it can support the smooth and unobstructed flow of traffic. Much depends on the bridge design, surrounding infrastructure and tolling system. By adding lanes and deploying open road tolling (ORT), the new Port Mann Bridge located in the metropolitan Vancouver area in British Columbia, will alleviate congestion at one of the

    A mobile road weather sensor is providing authorities with new options for monitoring road conditions and winter maintenance operations. Road and traffic engineers know the vulnerable points in their network – cold spots where ice forms first, high-banked roads where snow accumulates, fog pockets… Traditionally, most authorities will position weather stations at these points to detect and monitor road conditions during bad weather events.
