30 ComNet Europe is introducing the CopperLine product line to bring to market its expanded Ethernet over existing copper media transmission product offering which includes multiple-channel Ethernet extenders, un-managed Ethernet switches and PoE mid-span power injectors. These products, designed for applications where existing copper media, such as coaxial cable or twisted pair (UTP), is currently installed, are a cost-effective alternative to installing new media.

According to ComNet Europe managing director Steve Clarke: "CopperLine will consist of one, four, eight and 16 channel models that use coaxial cable or twisted pair. The higher port count models solve density challenges, allowing up to 16 channels to be supported in a single RU high rack-mount chassis.

CopperLine will also offer a unique un-managed switch that allows four ports of 10/100TX Ethernet to be transported for extended distance over a single coaxial cable or UTP."

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:

    Citizen Band radio is proving useful to prevent accidents in Germany’s roadworks. In common with other German Länder (federal regions) with large volumes of commercial vehicles using their trunk road networks, Bavaria had been experiencing high levels of road traffic accidents (RTAs) involving heavy trucks in the vicinity of minor motorway maintenance sites. This was despite the extensive visual warning regulations published in the German federal road safety audit (RSA) guidelines for the protection of site

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
