6626 Image Sensing Systems (ISS) is here at ITS America 2016 San Jose to introduce the RTMS Sx-300 with integrated Bluetooth sensor to its traffic management product line. The device is a powerful tool that agencies can use to better manage traffic.

ISS says the combination of the RTMS radar with the robust Bluetooth sensor is the ideal solution for incident detection and providing traffic managers with highly accurate travel time and origin/destination information.

This integrated Bluetooth sensor detects the Bluetooth signals from vehicles and handheld mobile devices.

According to the company, the Sx-300 is renowned for longterm worry-free reliability; is backed by a five-year warranty; provides robust lane-by-lane detection capabilities as well as the accuracy needed to help reduce congestion.

“We are thrilled to introduce the RTMS Sx-300 BT to our vehicle detection portfolio,” said Dan Skites, global general manager for Highway Sensors.

“The incorporation of spatial probe data into a radar detector is unprecedented. Our highaccuracy radar traffic data, combined with probe data from the Bluetooth sensor, provides a comprehensive view of traffic with richer data than other traffic detectors. This latest addition to our offering of sensors continues to provide traffic management experts increasing data fidelity to help them make precise decisions to manage their traffic,” adds Skites.

ISS, which has signed an agreement with 6771 Trafficnow, the developers of Bluetooth sensors for the traffic management sector, says it works diligently to identify innovative technologies that complement its technology portfolio.

“The marriage of these two technologies is a dynamic combination,” says Skites.

“Traffic management professionals can now rely on the most accurate real-time data and analytics by turning their data into actionable, usable information.”

    In-vehicle anti-collision systems continue to evolve and could eliminate some incidents altogether. John Kendall rounds up the current developments. A few weeks ago, I watched a driver reverse a car from a parking bay at right angles to the road, straight into a car driving along the road. The accident happened at walking pace, no-one was hurt and both cars had body panels that regain their shape after a low speed shunt.

    A major initiative in managing numerous transport networks as a single system has moved into a significant phase with design of sophisticated new ITS systems. Jon Masters reports. Detailed design work is under way on two pilot projects pursuing a common principle – that transportation can be made more efficient or effective if the various networks and modes of travel are managed as a whole system. This is the central tenet of the US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)
