Single radar provides stop bar and advance detection

smartmicro intersection radar traffic detectors offer combined stop bar and advance detection using a single radar, saving hardware cost and installation effort.

Smart Micro intersection stop bar and queue length

All smartmicro intersection sensors use multi-object, multilane tracking technology and provide lane specific advance detection, allowing users to implement adaptive control strategies or green light extension for intersections with one single radar per approach, even on curved approaches.

The company offers wide beam sensor models which can cover up to six lanes of traffic, or narrow beam models for detection ranges of up to 305 metres.  

The NEMA compliant sensors are typically installed on a pole at the roadside or overhead and are easy to integrate with existing infrastructure such as street lights or traffic signals. smartmicro claims the sensors function robustly under even the most adverse weather conditions and deliver the highest detection rates with a very low number of false calls.

    Navtech Radar’s latest radar-based automatic incident detection (AID) solutions for traffic management applications CTS350-X is, according to the company, suitable for use in tunnels, bridges and strategic roads. Easy to install and significantly smaller than previous models, and with a vehicle detection range of 500m, the radar gives very low numbers of false alarms – typically one per 1 kilometre per 24 hours. It is suitable for use in geographical regions where inclement weather, rain, fog, snow, sand

    Elmar Brockfeld, Alexander Sohr and Peter Wagner from the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Transport Systems look at the prospects for floating vehicle data systems. Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla
