148 Wavetronix comes to ITS America 2016 San Jose to showcase its SmartSensor range of nonintrusive radar detection for freeway management and intersection detection. As the company points out, it provides radar detection products designed specifically for roadway applications.

SmartSensors provide dynamic per vehicle detection delivering real-time data that traffic engineers need to keep their roads safe and efficient. Wavetronix says these products make intersection management and arterial management safe, efficient and intelligent.

All Wavetronix radar sensors are nonintrusive and provide accurate detection in various weather and lighting conditions. They require little to no maintenance which helps keep road workers out of the road and out of harm’s way. The SmartSensor product line that includes SmartSensor Matrix, SmartSensor Advance and SmartSensor HD will turn any city into a smart city.

Wavetronix says its SmartSensor Matrix corner-radar is a multi-lane traffic detector designed specifically for presence detection at the intersection stop bar. SmartSensor Advance is a forward-fire radar that improves safety and efficiency at the stopbar by providing dilemma zone protection for vehicles of all sizes and speeds, while SmartSensor HD is a side-fire radar that uses dual radar to create a speed trap resulting in accurate per vehicle speed data for arterial management.

At the company’s booth, Wavetronix will also be discussing how these products can be used for bicycle detection, signal performance measures and true presence detection.

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni

The smartphone app includes control of steering, accelerator and brakes as well as changing from high and low range. This would allow the driver to walk alongside the car, at a maximum speed of 4mph, to manoeuvre their car out of challenging situations safely, or even to negotiate difficult off
