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.

Traditionally HOV/HOT enforcement has entailed local police visually confirming each vehicle has the required number of occupants and chasin
