Two new products from 565 Pike Signals are the XLMicro, a full four way battery powered traffic signal set which runs for up to a week when fully charged, and XLPed, a temporary modular pedestrian control solution. It is designed for use in fixed pedestrian crossing sites needing maintenance or repair, or where a crossing is needed within roadworks. Pike Signals says it is quick to configure and operate due to the simple controls, and will cause minimal disruption when being put into position. The system is radio linked and battery powered enabling up to 14 days continuous operation.

At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

    According to Juliette van Driel of Dutch government organisation ProRail, who is to speak on the subject at the Rail Technology Conference in Paris in November, there is a requirement for identification tags on European trains. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags enable the monitoring and tracking of the separate components of a wagon, such as axles and wheels, over time. This enables the early identification of locomotive, carriage and wagon defects and the prevention of derailments. “It’s imp
