Siemens unveils new Heimdall detector

Siemens has extended its range of kerbside detection solutions with the introduction of a new Heimdall kerbside volumetric pedestrian detector. Based on advanced above-ground radar technology, the detector has the capability to indicate the occupancy of the pedestrian waiting area at any given time, allowing the most appropriate kerbside strategies to be selected depending on the numbers of pedestrians waiting to cross.

189 Siemens has extended its range of kerbside detection solutions with the introduction of a new Heimdall kerbside volumetric pedestrian detector.

Based on advanced above-ground radar technology, the detector has the capability to indicate the occupancy of the pedestrian waiting area at any given time, allowing the most appropriate kerbside strategies to be selected depending on the numbers of pedestrians waiting to cross. The new detector is suited to areas of high pedestrian presence, such as shopping centres and entertainment and sporting venues.

With kerbside and on-crossing pedestrian detection as well as SCOOT, MOVA, stop line and VA options for vehicles, Heimdall offers comprehensive and reliable above-ground detection at the roadside and is largely immune to changing environmental conditions, including sun, shadows, snow and fog. Heimdall has become a well established product in the UK and overseas markets, its ease of deployment and proven performance proving popular with users, as well as its compact form that ensures that unnecessary street clutter is minimised.
