Navtech demos live AdvanceGuard radar wide area solution

Navtech Radar is demonstrating its AdvanceGuard wide area surveillance solution in a live busy environment, in the middle of Hammersmith Road in Central London during TranSec 2013. AdvanceGuard will be shown with the analytical control software suite, Witness and integrated with the new Predator TC100 Day/Night camera from 360Vision.

819 NavTech Radar is demonstrating its AdvanceGuard wide area surveillance solution in a live busy environment, in the middle of Hammersmith Road in Central London during TranSec 2013.  AdvanceGuard will be shown with the analytical control software suite, Witness and integrated with the new Predator TC100 Day/Night camera from 360Vision.

AdvanceGuard enables sites under surveillance to be divided into multiple zones with varying threat and detection levels, identifying and classifying the movement of multiple targets within the range of the radar which are in turn recorded within an audit log. The benefit of such analytical software means the system can be configured to manage, and greatly reduce, the number of false or nuisance alarms, while still giving security the best possible advanced warning and tracking of genuine, real time intrusion within a site and or the approaches to its perimeter.

Keith Chapman, head of global sales at Navtech Radar, says, “At the show, we will be demonstrating our capability for wide area surveillance in an extremely demanding environment.  The key aim of the live demonstration is to show how the AdvanceGuard solution can detect, track people and vehicle movement over a wide area.”

    Radar effective as detection tool for hard shoulder running
    Navtech Radar's millimetric-wave systems are being researched on the M42 in England to look into how this type of detector can assist in the opening of the hard shoulder as an additional running lane. Here, the company's Stephen Clark talks about the technology being used. In England, the Highways Agency's (the HA, an executive agency of the Department for Transport) Managed Motorways system - formerly called Active Traffic Management - uses electronic signs and signals mounted on gantries to direct drivers

    Radar reinforces detection efficiency
    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni
