With an initial contract duration of 12 months and potential to extend for up to a further four years, Golden River, a division of 557 Clearview Traffic Group, will be supplying the M100 Wireless vehicle detection system which is a cost effective alternative to inductive loops and ideally suited to SCOOT and MOVA deployments.

It is claimed that the M100, which offers over 98 per cent accuracy for vehicle presence and speed, is the only wireless solution that is compatible with all major brands of traffic signal controllers.
