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.

    With the Idris system now validated as a speed verification tool, the way is open for loops to be used in more complex enforcement applications. Diamond Consulting Services (DCS), developer of the Idris inductive loop-based vehicle detection and classification system, has recently successfully conducted validation trials which, the company says, open the way for Idris to be used for speed verification and loop-based sensors to be used for more complex applications such as speed-on-green and differential spe

    Field trials under way in Arizona promise eradication of accidents between emergency vehicles at intersections – as part of a national focus on ‘intelligent signal’ infrastructure. Collisions between police cars, ambulances and fire crews as they reach intersections at the same time, with equal priority given by all signals set on red, are as serious as they sound absurd. For emergency teams and those in need of their help, the consequences are dire. The solution could come from application of connected veh

    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although
