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.

The insurance market is going through a transformation phase never seen before. Insurers have not only started to track individual cars for Usage Based Insurance (UBI), they are also using the technology to enhance consumer services as more drivers join up to these schemes.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although
