If you want to check out the VectorSense (V12M) sensor suite that presents opportunities for new ITS applications and won’t be commercially available until next spring, then head over to 69 International Road Dynamics' (IRD) stand here at the ITS World Congress.

IRD says VectorSense (V12M) will provide new, not previously available vehicle and traffic data including lane position information, single/dual and super single tyre measurement and identification of low pressure tyres, all at highway speed, for use in commercial vehicle operations (CVO), toll road operations, and vehicle safety and traffic data collection applications.

The tyre position and footprint data provided by the VectorSense sensor suite opens up new possibilities for traffic data collection, commercial vehicle safety, and toll road operations. Demonstrations of this new product with interested organisations are underway, with commercial availability in spring 2016.

Rish Malhotra, IRD VP of International Business, says there is an increasing demand for automated, continuous, real-time provision of vehicle and traffic data. The company’s weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems with integrated machine vision have positioned the company well to meet this demand.

IRD is also presenting an array of advanced traffic management and ITS solutions for infrastructure management including toll systems (WIM@Toll), commercial vehicle enforcement, infrastructure asset management, traffic intelligence, enterprise solutions and access control systems. IRD supplies ITS systems incorporating WIM sensors such as IRD-PAT Bending Plate, Single Load Cell (SLC) scales, and quartz and piezo sensors.

    David Crawford reviews promising current developments. Instrumentation of the road infrastructure has grown to become one of the most dynamic sectors of the ITS industry. Drivers for its deployment include global concerns over the commercial and environmental pressures of traffic congestion, the importance of keeping drivers informed throughout their journeys, and the need to reduce accident rates and promote the safety of all road users, for example by enforcing traffic safety rules.

    July 17, 2012
    OmniAir's Tim McGuckin takes a look at what happens when a tolling authority makes safety its principal operating criterion. The bottom - line effects, he says, are not as onerous as one might think. Replacing an existing 915MHz-based Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system with a new 915MHz system for toll collection is - from a technology standpoint - comparable to trading in your 1999 high-mileage Buick for another 1999 Buick with '0' on the odometer.
