Here at this year’s ITS World Congress, 6778 Flir Systems is showcasing its range of thermal imaging cameras for traffic monitoring and surveillance on highways. Needing no light at all to produce an image, the company’s FC-Series, PT-Series and D-Series can be used for a wide variety of traffic applications.

As Flir points out, all of its cameras can also work perfectly together with video analytics. As such, they can be used for Automatic Incident Detection (AID) on highways, on bridges and in tunnels. One example of such an installation is the Greek Rion-Antirion Bridge, where 30 Flir traffic cameras with AID analytics make sure that vehicles can cross the Gulf of Corinth in a safe and efficient way.

The company has also integrated thermal imaging technology in its sensor range for urban traffic detection. Last year, Flir launched the TrafiSense sensor, an integrated thermal camera and detector for vehicle and bike presence detection and counting at signalised intersections.

TrafiSense detects vehicles and bicycles at, and nearby, the stop bar and uses the thermal energy emitted from vehicles and cyclists to make a distinction between both. The intelligent sensor can provide the traffic light controller with specific information on vehicle and bike presence, which allows traffic managers to make more intelligent decisions and adapt green times according to the specific road user type-bike or other vehicle.

  • Flexible plastic 3D number plate
    February 28, 2014
    German company 3D-Kennzeichen is claiming a world first for its 3D car number plate made of special plastics. The 3D characters are applied by newly-developed stick-and-stamp technology to provide durable and tamper-proof mounting. The company claims the plate provides superior properties because the flexible, elastic material cannot be dented easily, nor does the product corrode. 3D-Kennzeichen claims the new car plate overcomes all negative aspects of former plastics approaches.

    September 10, 2014
    Electricity is in the air – and in Toshiba’s new super charge ion battery (SCiB), on display at ITS World Congress. SCiB batteries can be charged in five to 10 minutes, compared with the traditional overnight charging required for applications such as electric buses. SCiB charges even faster than current fast charge batteries, which take 30 minutes. The ultra-fast charging is possible because SCiB can tolerate a high current of 400 amps, almost three times higher than today’s normal fast charging batt
