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.”

    Richard Turnock, chief technology officer of Kapsch TrafficCom North America explains what advantages its newly-opened TDM protocol can offer as a US-wide standard for tolling interoperability. The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry

    Enabled and enforced by innovative use of ITS, Dublin’s new off-road cycle route is proving a hit with commuters, leisure cyclists and walkers alike as Brendan O’Brien explains. Dublin City Council’s vision is to create a city where people of all ages and abilities have the confidence, incentive and facilities to cycle. On-road cycle lanes had already been incorporated into the Quality Bus Corridors design and there is a mix of on- and off-road cycle routes. However, in 2010 the Council began work on a new

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
