ISS introduces Cyclescope bicycle detection feature

Image Sensing Systems is using the ITS World Congress to introduce Cyclescope, the new bicycle differentiation and detection feature in the Autoscope software suite. According to the company, the new feature enhances bicycle detection capability and adds the ability to differentiate between bicycles and motorised vehicles as they approach the junction. A significant advantage is that it doesn’t require additional roadway markings, product purchases, equipment installations or maintenance.

Greg McKhann: "Bicycle safety is a growing concern"

6626 Image Sensing Systems is using the ITS World Congress to introduce Cyclescope, the new bicycle differentiation and detection feature in the Autoscope software suite.

According to the company, the new feature enhances bicycle detection capability and adds the ability to differentiate between bicycles and motorised vehicles as they approach the junction. A significant advantage is that it doesn’t require additional roadway markings, product purchases, equipment installations or maintenance.

"The Autoscope Cyclescope feature can not only detect but also differentiate bicycles made of any material on any approaching lane at no additional cost,” said Greg McKhann, General Manager – Traffic Management at Image Sensing Systems. “Bicycle safety is a growing concern and requirement of many cities and municipalities.”

The Cyclescope feature allows traffic engineers to offer bicycle timings in their traffic control strategy with minimal changes to the junction control configuration, without having to make changes to the traffic controller.

Agencies can configure the data collection to help them demonstrate the success of their bicycle-friendly programmes.

Image Sensing Systems says Cyclescope is available in many Autoscope technology products including Autoscope Pn-520, Autoscope Pn-500 detector cards, Autoscope Encore, Autoscope Duo, Autoscope Solo models and Autoscope RackVision Terra and can be easily implemented into current installations.

    While initial cost of radar based detection may be higher than that traditional loops, lower maintenance costs more than balance the books. Following successful field tests, the US city of Greenville, North Carolina, has recently agreed a new policy of phasing in Wavetronix traffic sensor technology’s radar-based SmartSensor Matrix system across its signalised traffic intersections.

    ITS homes in on cycling safety
    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
