ISS introduces wrong way detection system

Image Sensing Systems (ISS) has added a wrong way detection and notification system designed to alert drivers travelling the wrong way along on-ramps. The Automatic Incident Detection (AID) wrong way alerting solution can detect multiple lanes of traffic using a single camera and provides accurate detection and fast notification to help improve the safety performance of roadways. The system uses high-definition video stream from ISS’ patented RTMS Sx-300 HDCAM radar product, providing radar-based data

6626 Image Sensing Systems (ISS) has added a wrong way detection and notification system designed to alert drivers travelling the wrong way along on-ramps.

The Automatic Incident Detection (AID) wrong way alerting solution can detect multiple lanes of traffic using a single camera and provides accurate detection and fast notification to help improve the safety performance of roadways.

The system uses high-definition video stream from ISS’ patented RTMS Sx-300 HDCAM radar product, providing radar-based data collection and video analytics and sends an automated message alert with an image snapshot via e-mail or text. It also provides a 30 second video of the event, allowing traffic operators to visually confirm the vehicle and provide emergency officials with its details.

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers. It was back in April 2004 that the European Parliament adopted the EU Directive which lays down the Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (2004/54/EC). This was the first unitary legislation setting minimum safety standards for European road tunnels and was designed to harmonise the management of tunnel safety at a national level. Operators of existing tunnels have until 30 April 201
