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.

    City of York Council is to introduce thermal imaging technology on key cycle routes in York to help reduce the time spent at traffic signals, improve journey reliability and cycle safety. The city is set to become one of the first councils in the country to start using the technology which will accurately detect cyclists at signals by their ‘heat signature’, allowing the signals to react accordingly and be adjusted to give more ‘green time’ for cyclists. The thermal technology was first introduced by

The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry
