542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT), has added speed, class and count capabilities to its Canoga 9000 series, using a single width four-channel traffic management card in place of the traditional two cards system.

Canoga includes Ethernet to connect to GTT’s central management software (CMS), allowing engineers real time access key data, run customised reports and receive maintenance alerts from a remote location. Engineers can use the device to adjust timing for signalised intersections, to record state and federal mandated traffic counts, or just for a more accurate count of the number of vehicles on the road.
 
The new cards are easily interchanged with existing sensors and can capture information about vehicles in parking lots or cyclists in bike lanes.

    Connected vehicle technology is helping Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) clear snow and ice from roadways faster, using GPS-based automatic vehicle location (AVL) devices on its winter road maintenance equipment. These systems report where each truck is, and they gather data from other sensors to report details like atmospheric conditions, camera images, and speed and salt application rates for each vehicle.

    Machine vision techniques can provide solutions to some of the traffic planners most enduring problems With a high proportion of cars being occupied by the driver alone, one of the easiest, most environmentally friendly and cheapest methods of reducing congestion is to encourage more people to travel in each vehicle. So to persuade people to share rides, high occupancy lanes were devised to prioritise vehicles with (typically) three of more people on board and in some areas these vehicles are exempt from
