As the company points out, smartmicro Traffic Radar technology is used today at thousands of intersections in the US and worldwide. It has proven to be robust and remarkably reliable.

Indeed, the company says that US University studies and benchmarks show that the smartmicro Stop Bar+ technology outperforms all other radar detectors. It is also very cost efficient, being the only technology which can do stop bar detection and advance detection with one single radar unit, saving hardware cost, space and installation effort.

smartmicro says there are many more advantages including lane specific advance detection and the capability to perform detection at long ranges, even for curved roads. The company says it not only offers the longest range radar sensors available today, but also the smallest size sensors on the market. Here at the ITS World Congress, the entire family of Universal Traffic Management Radars is being shown: products for intersection management, for traffic counting and classification as well as for speed and red light enforcement applications. Interface cards and other accessories, offering TS1 loop detector outputs, TS2 SDLC interface and Ethernet are also being presented.

    Unbroken service Technolution's Winifred Roggekamp and Dave Marples describe efforts to upgrade the Westerscheldetunnel's tolling system to give free-flow capability. Until 2003 the Flanders region of Zeeland, in the south-west of the Netherlands, was connected to the mainland only by ferry. The new Westerscheldetunnel, a 6.6km toll tunnel, improves communications with the region considerably, taking some 100km off the alternative road journey. In 2006 it was recognised that the toll plaza for the tunnel ne
  • Polarisation is glaringly obvious, says Sony
    December 3, 2018
    Glare from the sun is a factor in a large number of road accidents – many of them fatal. But there is a solution at hand: using polarisation can mitigate the effect of glare and improve ITS camera enforcement, explains Stephane Clauss The effect of glare on driver safety has been well documented. A 2013 UK study by the country’s largest driver organisation, the AA, calculated sun glare was a contributing cause in almost 3,000 road accidents in 2012 alone. This represented one in 33 accidents on Britain’s
