The radar-based Bat-Box, from UK traffic and vehicle monitoring specialist 7699 Applied Traffic, is inconspicuous, easy to install, user-friendly and can be attached to existing street furniture. It detects and records the passage of vehicle and bicycles in a range of environments – including multi-lane highways, bi-directional traffic lanes, paths, lanes and cycle tracks.

It classifies accurately in real time and is equipped with an integrated GMS/GPRS modem for streaming data, such as direction, lane, speed and length, to a back office computer, server or cloud-based storage system. Up to 600,000 individual vehicle records can be stored at any one time. The system is ideal for research for planning applications and developments.

A first-time exhibit is the Apollo range of UK-manufactured axle weighbridges. This next generation of in-motion or static axle-by-axle weighing system provides slow-speed, portable weighing. It is ideal for fleet operators and enforcement agencies, and will fit into the back of a car.

Sensors are fixed to the underside of the bridge deck beneath up to four lanes of traffic and the system is calibrated with vehicles of known weight passing individually, in opposite directions and in various combinations depending on the road layout. Having been calibrated, an algorithm then interprets the information to determine the number, weights, speed and
