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.

    Minnesota DOT deploys GTT’s Canoga to curb intersection vehicle crashes
    Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is working toward making the state’s roads safer, using the Canoga traffic sensing solution from Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) to warn at-risk drivers when cross-traffic is approaching. Nearly 70 per cent of fatal vehicle collisions in Minnesota, as well as other states, occur on roads in rural communities, where higher speeds, varying terrain and inconsistent sightlines can put many drivers in danger. The MnDOT initiative is part of the nationwide Towards

    Wavetronix radar-based traffic sensor cuts costs
    While initial cost of radar based detection may be higher than that traditional loops, lower maintenance costs more than balance the books. Following successful field tests, the US city of Greenville, North Carolina, has recently agreed a new policy of phasing in Wavetronix traffic sensor technology’s radar-based SmartSensor Matrix system across its signalised traffic intersections. City traffic engineer Rik DiCesare expects the incremental implementation to deliver benefits to both the city’s taxpayers an
