French wireless technology specialist 8334 HIKOB is to supply the city of Troyes, France, with wireless vehicle detection and weather monitoring systems to optimise traffic signal control and road winter service operations, replacing the old in-ground loop detection system.

HIKOB says its sensors offer a dual functionality: they can be configured to collect either traffic data or road surface to power both advanced urban traffic management and road weather monitoring.

HIKOB wireless sensors for vehicle detection communicate real-time data to the traffic management centre. The data is then analysed with advanced real-time algorithms that generate key indicators that are sent to the remote traffic light controllers to adapt green times and to improve traffic flows.

The sensors can also provide real-time information on road surface temperature, enabling winter service operators to schedule road clearing operations during snowy or icy periods.

Like many ITS deployments, the state has gained benefits but also faces many challenges, as Pete Goldin reports. Smart Lanes is the brand name of Minnesota Department of Transportation’s (MnDoT) ATM system on I-35W in the Twin Cities Metro Area. The original system covered 16 miles of I-35W south of Minneapolis starting in 2009, and was extended by two miles in 2011. Additional ATM equipment was inst

    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
