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.

However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre

    Tolling systems - interoperability is key
    Is US tolling as fragmented and divided as some would have you believe? And are the technology suppliers so very entrenched? ITS International spoke to the market's leading suppliers. A few years back, the prevalent view was that the North American tolling market was characterised by fragmented, proprietary solutions, each existing in splendid isolation. The reality is that a combination of pragmatism and good old market forces have seen some concerted moves made towards interoperability in many areas.
