147 Vitronic will use the ITS World Congress Detroit 2014 to showcase the next- generation of the company’s LIDAR-based traffic enforcement. The company says the new system builds on the best-in-class measurement technology of the revolutionary PoliScan product line and can be applied to a variety of enforcement scenarios, such as speed enforcement, red light enforcement, and tailgating. According to Vitronic, the new system has already proven its capabilities by outperforming competition in a recent tender in Abu Dhabi, which included a roadside test comprised of over 20 enforcement and violation scenarios across up to six lanes simultaneously.
Also on display will be the latest generation of the TollChecker flexible free-flow tolling platform. The technology can be applied on highways as well as rural roads or for road user charging in urban environments. It is also used for auditing existing or projected tolling systems.
Delegates to the ITS World Congress are also invited to a presentation by Vitronic on flexible tolling technology within the Road User Charging Session 4 on Wednesday morning, September 10th. The presentation (Session #13402) is titled“The ‘F’ Factor - Not Only Smart But Flexible Synergies Of Traffic Control And Management Systems.”
FLIR is looking at this show to promote awareness of the successes its infrared-spectrum cameras have achieved in the US market, and to emulate those gains elsewhere in the world. Infrared cameras score over their visible light competitors for applications such as Automated Incident Detection (AID) and vulnerable road user detection, according to Dan Dietrich, the company’s Manager, Traffic & ITS. “Detecting bicycles and pedestrians is challenging for visible-spectrum cameras in certain conditions but becau
The product consists of a metal box installed under urban equipment, such as streetlamps, pillars, and signposts. In the event of an impact from a vehicle, the equipment will release very easily so damage to the bodywork will be minimised, as will injuries and human losses.
In the demonstration areas of the ITS World Congress, Telespazio, a joint venture between Finmeccanica and Thales, will showcase LCS, a ‘plug-in’ solution that enables easy retrofitting of existing GPS systems to use and exploit the capabilities of the EGNOS Commercial Service. The demonstration will show its use in an ITS system for tracking and tracing operational tankers transporting hydrocarbon in Europe.
Portuguese company Sernis will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 to present B-Rail, a new concept of road safety barriers designed for any type of vehicle and developed to be ultra-resistant and withstand vehicular impacts.
Sernis claims that B-Rail has an absorption power and damping shock greater than conventional guard rail solutions, due to its raw material and internal structure. In addition, the barrier has a high absorption/dissipation capacity of impact energy at higher speed than conventional gua
