NavTech demonstrates radar based AID at ITS World Congress

On the ITS-UK National Pavilion at the ITS World Congress, Navtech Radar will be showcasing the safety and economic benefits of using its longer-range ClearWay radar systems for automated incident detection (AID). Characteristics such as the system’s very low false alarm rates – less than one per 24 hours – will be highlighted, as well as the system’s growing list of functionalities, which now include vehicle count and classification.

On the ITS-UK National Pavilion at the ITS World Congress, 819 NavTech Radar will be showcasing the safety and economic benefits of using its longer-range ClearWay radar systems for automated incident detection (AID). Characteristics such as the system’s very low false alarm rates – less than one per 24 hours – will be highlighted, as well as the system’s growing list of functionalities, which now include vehicle count and classification.

Key features of the technology are that it enables road and tunnel operators to continue to monitor their networks in weather conditions which will defeat video. In tunnels and at portals in particular, variable light conditions or dust and haze are no barriers to performance. At the same time, radar offers wide-area detection and monitoring capabilities which loop-based systems cannot.

    The innovative LTI TruSense traffic sensors from Laser Technology Australia are now proving their worth at a test site in Melbourne. Five of the dual traffic laser systems have been installed on a gantry over the M80 Ring Road in Melbourne, scanning the vehicle flow in each lane. These TruSense T-Series scanners are able to record data on vehicle speed, dimensions and occupancy in real time. The non-intrusive scanners are said to be highly accurate and reliable and produce the rapid pulse rates and measure
