1763 Econolite has introduced its 6575 Autoscope software release Version 10.5.0 with Cyclescope, the latest free Autoscope software upgrade that provides enhanced bicycle differentiation accuracy. Cyclescope is compatible with all existing Autoscope Solo Terra, RackVision Terra, Encore, and Duo detection systems.

Cyclescope enables bicycle-differentiated detection in support of bicycle minimum green signal programming, a green signal interval length to accommodate and help ensure that bicycles can safely cross an intersection. This is often specified for traffic signal programs, as well as a standard feature of modern traffic signal controllers, including Econolite ASC/3 and Cobalt automatic traffic controllers.

“Cyclescope satisfies yet another detection objective with a single sensor,” said Scott Robinson, Econolite Autoscope product manager. “The overriding goal with Cyclescope is to provide end-users with an easy way to leverage their existing investment in Autoscope and achieve highly accurate bicycle differentiation, and Cyclescope does just that.”

    David Crawford reviews promising current developments. Instrumentation of the road infrastructure has grown to become one of the most dynamic sectors of the ITS industry. Drivers for its deployment include global concerns over the commercial and environmental pressures of traffic congestion, the importance of keeping drivers informed throughout their journeys, and the need to reduce accident rates and promote the safety of all road users, for example by enforcing traffic safety rules.

    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than
