World Congress delegates considering using small wireless networks should make a beeline for stand of 416 Proxim Wireless where the company is exhibiting its new Tsunami 820. The unit can be used as either a base station to communicate with traffic lights or as an onboard unit to send information such as video images from buses.

The new version works in the 4.9 to 5.925GHz band and retains same the functionality and robustness of its predecessor but is around one third the size and half the cost and can also be specified with an integral aerial or an N-Type connector for an external aerial. Power can either come from a 12V feed where the unit is mounted in a vehicle or by Power-over-Ethernet for remote installation such as traffic light control.

    Jason Barnes looks at Daimler’s Intelligent Drive programme to consider how machine vision has advanced the state of the art of vision-based in-vehicle systems. Traditionally, radar was the in-vehicle Driver Assistance System (DAS) technology of choice, particularly for applications such as adaptive cruise control and pre-crash warning generation. Although vision-based technology has made greater inroads more recently, it is not a case of ‘one sensor wins’. Radar and vision are complementary and redundancy

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
