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.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
