Radar detection specialist 559 AGD Systems will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2018 to showcase its traffic and pedestrian control solutions which include the new large-zone, IP-capable, real-time video 645 Pedestrian Detector and the 318 and 350 traffic control radars.  Designed for the smart city, these ITS products all deliver ease of deployment, integration and setup to allow maximum flexibility for evolving traffic models.

User communication with these traffic and pedestrian control devices is wireless, making deployment easy and setup simple. All three products employ WiFi or the Bluetooth AGD Touch-setup for quick configuration and zone or loop optimisation.

AGD says that extensive regional testing of the large-zone 645 Pedestrian Detector on extended pedestrian zones has shown very high detection performance where there are high densities of crossing pedestrians. The 645 radar delivers real-time video and its IP capability allows control rooms to receive the information they need to ensure optimal performance. The company says the future is IP-driven because it allows control rooms to interrogate devices and make real-time changes on the street.

The new multi-lane, multi-loop replacing 350 Traffic Control Radar with stationary detection perfectly complements AGD’s 318 Traffic Control Radar. Both will deliver highly effective local traffic implementations in either single or multi-lane environments.

According to AGD, these next-generation ITS solutions make intrusive, costly detection a thing of the past, saving local authorities substantially in terms of installation and through-life costs. The company says it is one of the world’s most successful manufacturers of ITS products, delivering smart solutions for traffic initiatives everywhere. Headquartered in the UK, AGD has an Australian subsidiary, and distributors in EMEA, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

  • Changing roles in data collection for traffic management

    Transport for Greater Manchester's David Hytch discusses the evolving roles of the public and private sector in managing and disseminating data. Data services for traffic management were once the sole preserve of public sector organisations, they being uniquely placed and equipped for the work involved. Now, though, this is changing. There is even a presumption in some countries that the private sector will take a greater, if not actually a lead, role in the provision of information for transport management

    January 31, 2012
    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than
