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.
