522 Capsys has revealed a solar-powered detector which it believes will offer significant advantages to transport authorities. The company specialises in vehicle detection for urban traffic control and says its ‘planet friendly’ RXW Solar Wireless series – as well as having a standalone power supply - is quick and easy to install.

The connection, made via an antenna, can reach four radar units which can be up to 300m away. Capsys also provides solutions for traffic light priority, and has patented its inductive and magnetic IV system which features two functions (selective priority and vehicle detection) on one loop. It can interface with any type of traffic light controller and, the firm says, offers low operation and maintenance costs.
