Gardasoft gets intense

Gardasoft Vision has launched the VTR4 traffic monitoring strobe, an illuminator which provides IR and white light for ITS applications at up to three times the intensity of conventional LED light sources. The VTR4 builds on the success of the industry-leading VTR2 and utilises the highest-power LED technology available, says the company’s Business Development Manager Paul Downey.

6965 Gardasoft Vision has launched the VTR4 traffic monitoring strobe, an illuminator which provides IR and white light for ITS applications at up to three times the intensity of conventional LED light sources. The VTR4 builds on the success of the industry-leading VTR2 and utilises the highest-power LED technology available, says the company’s Business Development Manager Paul Downey.

“The VTR4 delivers up to 3.0kW pulses to the LED array and so opens up a range of new applications with increased illumination distances. It features fully integrated internal timing, intensity control, trigger input and long-distance communications including Ethernet and RS-232, suiting it to applications such as ANPR, red light violation enforcement, open-road tolling and weigh in motion applications.”

The VTR4 comes in an IP66-rated enclosure and can be operated in a free-running mode from a programmable internal trigger. A trigger input can be used to synchronise the lighting pulse with the exposure of a camera. Full intensity and pulse width control are available through the trigger input and remote communications port. There is an internal interlock to prevent the lighting being triggered too fast.

    Turkish company Vendeka is looking to expand its operations internationally after completing what it describes as the first passive RFID-based tolling project in Europe. The company installed the system on the Bosphorus Bridge, which links Europe and Asia. Previously, tolling was achieved by a card-based system, but traffic jams were caused by drivers stopping to place their cards in the readers. This has been replaced by Vendeka’s passive RFID system. A major advantage, says Vendeka, is that a passive RFID

    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
