UK ITS manufacturer 559 AGD Systems says its 343 Highways Monitoring Radar provides real-time data on multiple lanes and improves highway safety. The product was showcased at the UK’s Traffex Seeing is Believing conference in Leicestershire.

The radar collects traffic flow data on the network and replaces loop technology to monitor lanes on inter-urban routes.

Ian Hind, commercial director at AGD Systems, says the solution employs enforcement-grade radar and measurement techniques to quantify speed, range and length of passing vehicles.

“The radar allows instant decision-making in determining whether traffic is free-moving, slowing or starting to queue,” Hind adds.

    Getting from the centre of Auckland to the city’s airport used to be fraught with unwanted stress for passengers – but a new system combining radar, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is smoothing things over. Andrew Stone investigates. Struggling to cope with steady growth in passenger numbers and the costly traffic congestion which that can entail, New Zealand’s Auckland International Airport has deployed an innovative system that is smoothing traffic and passenger flows. The same system is also offering new, data-led

The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only

    AGD Systems (AGD) has upgraded its 645 Pedestrian Detector to cover a 10m x 3m zone in a standard built format to monitor new super-crossings that are being deployed internationally. The solution is said to detect people while rejecting shadows, litter, leaves and other distractions. 645 processes information on board with new chip-set and algorithms for automated decision-making with the intention of providing ultra-reliable detection. It utilises a 3D high-definition, stereo-vision optical sensor that
