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.

    Timothy Compston weighs up the critical elements that keep the wheels of dynamic pricing schemes turning in today's high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes. In the drive towards smarter tolling it is perhaps not surprising that sophisticated pricing algorithms are being rolled out to better reflect supply and demand on the roadway. This is the case with high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes which a growing number of DoTs are seeing as a way of smoothing the operation of their existing, and planned, freeway infrastructure

    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is gaining an increasingly high profile in the US public transport agenda, for two main reasons. One is the potential for ‘trains on wheels’ to save substantially on installation costs as compared with other modes such as underground metros or light-rail transit. Another, highlighted in the case of New York City, is the value of having a rapid surface-based alternative available whe
