Patent for Reno A&E bicycle detection signature analysis

Reno A&E (RAE), a subsidiary of Eberle Design has been awarded a US patent for its bicycle detection signature analysis technology. The patent covers a signature analysis technique that employs two sets of rules: the first for a bicycle which produces a signature having at least two peaks and two valleys when passing over a loop connected to the vehicle detector; the second for a bicycle which produces a signature having two peaks and only one valley when passing over a marginal side region of a loop con

7435 Reno A&E (RAE), a subsidiary of 41 Eberle Design has been awarded a US patent for its bicycle detection signature analysis technology.

The patent covers a signature analysis technique that employs two sets of rules: the first for a bicycle which produces a signature having at least two peaks and two valleys when passing over a loop connected to the vehicle detector; the second for a bicycle which produces a signature having two peaks and only one valley when passing over a marginal side region of a loop connected to the vehicle detector. Peak and valley searches are conducted sequentially, with a peak search being conducted first upon start-up.

    US space agency Nasa is moving into the final phase of its four-year programme to prove that it can safely control drones flying over urban centres. Drones, less commonly called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), are likely to form an increasing proportion of the transportation mix for future cities, but questions remain over their safety – particularly in built-up, heavily populated areas. Nasa will test them in two areas – the gambling hotspot of Reno, Nevada, and the Texan city of Corpus Christi.

The research, detailed in a whitepaper, Commonalities in Vehicle Vulnerabilities, is based on real-world security assessments. Technologies which could be exploited include cellular radio, Bluetooth, wi-fi, companion apps, vehicle to vehicle (V2V) radio, onboard diagnostic equipment, infotainment media and Zigbe

The idea of every traffic light turning green as you approach it has long been a dream for many an urban driver – and none more so than those driving heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), which are slow and difficult to bring to a halt and then accelerate back to normal travel speed. But that dream has become a reality for some drivers in a small number of cities around Europe in the las
