BlipTrack deployed for travel time measurement in Danish city

The Danish city of Aarhus, which has the second-largest urban area in Denmark after Copenhagen, has chosen BlipTrack to measure travel time and traffic flow following eight months of thorough testing of the system. The results showed that Blip Systems’ small and non-intrusive Bluetooth solution could offer the same exact information as alternative and more expensive solutions.

The Danish city of Aarhus, which has the second-largest urban area in Denmark after Copenhagen, has chosen BlipTrack to measure travel time and traffic flow following eight months of thorough testing of the system. The results showed that 3778 Blip Systems’ small and non-intrusive Bluetooth solution could offer the same exact information as alternative and more expensive solutions.

So far, 60 BlipTrack sensors have been installed with the main purpose to measure travel time; inform and warn about queues and delays; identify problem areas; evaluate and calibrate traffic signals; improve capacity on existing roads; and detect changes in traffic patterns.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
