SES America arrives at World Congress fresh from the National Rural ITS conference where its SolarSign was awarded New Product of the Year. SolarSign is a solar powered Dynamic Messaging Sign (DMS) system with full range capabilities for large scale displays on major highways in both rural and urban locations. The solar power system allows signs to be erected where needed without placement being dictated by access to power and the signs can display travel times, warnings and awareness signs.

The NTCIP compliant company uses the latest LEDs which are 30-50% more efficient than traditional LED’s and eliminate the need for a cooling system therefore reducing both power consumption and maintenance costs. An optional power and temperature monitoring system provides real-time feedback to eliminate operational uncertainties regarding the power supply.
AGD is demonstrating how it is applying its intelligent radar detection expertise to the lighting sector to help authorities and lighting manufacturers achieve significant cost and energy efficiency savings. It can provide dynamic street lighting control from real time traffic data, ensuring lighting levels are adjusted safely depending on traffic density. When the radars detect high volumes of traffic, streetlights are deployed on full brightness but can then be programmed to dim to established safe levels
Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has launched a new website that consolidates hundreds of traffic and infrastructure maps on a single platform, following an open government initiative touted by the state. “Utah views transportation infrastructure as the property of its citizens,” said Terry Bills, global transportation industry manager for Esri. “They paid the bills. They should be able to access this type of information.
Minimising the danger for road workers is always a key industry objective and Versilis is exhibiting an automated traffic control gate system which does just that. Its system uses a series of progressively longer, high-visibility and remotely-controlled gates that can close off lanes on a freeway without the need to put operatives in live lanes.
“You need sight of the area when deploying the gates – either directly or via CCTV – to check for a gap in the traffic but beyond that the system fully automated
Smartek Vision’s industrial GigE camera GCP1931 with Sony’s ¬ first image sensor based on CMOS technology with global shutter provides a cost-effective camera for traf¬fic surveillance in all lighting conditions.
With 2.3MP resolution at a high frame rate of 50fps, high sensitivity due to the Sony Exmor technology and large pixels of 5.86μm, Smartek Vision utilises the full bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet based on the GigE Vision standard as a proven data interface. The sensor and the camera design
