Navtech’s new CTS350-X set for Swedish roads

Navtech Radar, the specialist manufacturer of radar-based automatic incident detection (AID) solutions, is unveiling its latest CTS350-X radar at the show. The unit is smaller, lighter and easier to install and commission than previous models and its response time for detecting a stopped vehicle and sending an alert is less than 10-15 seconds. It is suitable for automatic incident detection on bridges and strategic roads and in tunnels and covers up to 1,000m of road surface (500m radius) and detects people

819 NavTech Radar, the specialist manufacturer of radar-based automatic incident detection (AID) solutions, is unveiling its latest CTS350-X radar at the show.  

The unit is smaller, lighter and easier to install and commission than previous models and its response time for detecting a stopped vehicle and sending an alert is less than 10-15 seconds. It is suitable for automatic incident detection on bridges and strategic roads and in tunnels and covers up to 1,000m of road surface (500m radius) and detects people within a 350m radius.

The product launch follows Navtech’s four year Framework contract with 6301 Trafikverket, Sweden’s national transport administration and will see the CTS350-X, which has an operating range of temperature -20°C to +60°C deployed on strategic multi-lane roads without a hard shoulder.

Dr Stephen Clark, the company’s technical director says: “Several of the AID projects our technology is implemented on include multi-lane running on strategic roads, with no hard shoulder, so fast and accurate detection is a must.”

The first stretch of road which will be equipped with the new CTS350-X ClearWay AID solution is a part of the E4 motorway, running from Stockholm to Arlanda International Airport.

    Icoms Detections offers radar stop-line detection
    Icoms Detections has added an easy-to-use radar for the detection of stationary vehicles at the stop-line to its I-tersection range. A vehicle approaching or stopping in the targeted activates a relay loop, which is held until the vehicle moves. The advantage over inductive loop technology is the absence of the need for roadworks for installation. The sensor also provides warning of whether vehicles fail to start as expected, because of congestion, obstruction, driver inattention and so on. At this year’s s

    Sensefields’ wireless sensors simplify sensing
    Sensefields’ traffic monitoring system uses easily installed wireless sensors to determine vehicle speed and, in urban situations, also for categorisation. Information from the sensor is sent in real time to the data processing station to determine the capacity (vehicles per hour) in each lane, average speed, speed distribution, average vehicle length, length distribution, density, average headway between vehicles and occupancy (%).
