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.

    Machine vision techniques can provide solutions to some of the traffic planners most enduring problems With a high proportion of cars being occupied by the driver alone, one of the easiest, most environmentally friendly and cheapest methods of reducing congestion is to encourage more people to travel in each vehicle. So to persuade people to share rides, high occupancy lanes were devised to prioritise vehicles with (typically) three of more people on board and in some areas these vehicles are exempt from
