8097 Gridsmart Technologies and 8436 Wave Mobile Solutions are hosting a DSRC V2X Vision Zero demo during ITS America 2016 San Jose that will show how intelligent technology can be used to prevent traffic incidents, improve safety for vehicles and pedestrians, and identify problematic locations. The Gridsmart Bell Camera and a Wave Mobile Solutions FiberWire 8011 DSRC RSU will be installed at the corner of San Carlos and Market Street, directly in front of the Marriott Hotel. The camera delivers a horizon to horizon view and utilises novel tracking algorithms to track vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The Wave Mobile Solutions Road Side Unit (RSU) is based on the latest DSRC security standards and supports a higher capacity turbo mode for applications such as video transmission.

The Vision Zero demonstration uses the San Jose VTA Light rail. As the light rail approaches Market Street, upon detection of safety issues by the Gridsmart camera, such as: pedestrians or bicycles in the crosswalk; vehicle in left hand turn lane next to approaching light rail; and bikes in the bike lane, the Wave Mobile Solutions DSRC RSU will send out DSRC basic safety messages, alerting the Wave Mobile Solutions DSRC OBU-equipped light rail and DSRC OBUequipped vehicles.

To participate in Vision Zero, meet at booth #507.

Demonstrations will be held at the following times:
Today, 12, 2, 4, 6 pm
Tomorrow, 12, 2, 4 pm
Wednesday, 10 am, 12, 1:45 pm

    Fusion Processing’s Jim Hutchinson looks at a two-year trial of the company’s cyclist detection system. Is cycling in a city dangerous? Well, that depends where you are and how you view statistics. Malmö is far more bike-friendly than Mumbai and the risk can either be perceived as small - one death per 29 million miles cycled in the UK in 2013 - or large - that equated to 109 deaths in the same year. Whatever your personal take on the data, the effect of these accidents can be felt indirectly too. News of c

    UK Highways Agency approval for Aldis GridSmart
    US-based detection technology company Aldis has received UK Highways Agency approval for its 3D vision-based vehicle and pedestrian detection system with tracking for traffic signal control and data collection. Aldis GridSmart replaces in-road detection technology with a single, static 3D camera at signal controlled junctions. The system can also be used for multi-directional traffic surveys, including complex turning movements and vehicle classification, as well as pedestrian detection and counting.
