5574 Traficon has announced the TrafiCam Collect-R as a cost-effective and reliable solution that combines the benefits of video detection with state-of-the-art CMOS sensor technology, to collect traffic data, detect queues and emulate or simulate loops on highways and inter-urban roads. As Dieter Cosaert, Product Manager at Traficon, explains: "With this all-in-one sensor you don't need to buy a dedicated camera and you still get the benefits of intelligent video detection technology. So you can get direct visual feedback on how accurate your detection system works. What you see is what you get." TrafiCam Collect-R provides all relevant traffic data such as volume, speed, occupancy and classification on multiple lanes, by day and night and in all weather conditions. Depending on sensor positioning (overhead/side-fired) it can cover up to four lanes. Data is provided for each lane and each vehicle class and can be retrieved locally or remotely.

    London's commuters will be able to use their mobile phones and bank cards for travel across the city, if Transport for London's (TfL) plans come to fruition. Thousands of London bus users already pay their fares using contactless bank cards instead of TfL Oyster cards, which have been widely used over the past decade. Users pay different charges for different London Underground zones and for train travel, so TfL has to decide on suitable payment mechanisms, and could drive the widespread adoption of systems

    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

    Janet Banner, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and Christopher Hill, Mixon Hill, Inc., outline efforts to explore the use of IntelliDrive technologies in HOT lane applications. On 21 October last year more than 100 transportation professionals came together for a workshop, either in person or via a webinar, to discuss the potential role of IntelliDriveSM technologies in enhancing the operations of High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. The discussions focused on a White Paper, commissioned by the Metropoli
