Eberle Design Incorporated (EDI) and Reno A&E are here at ITS America Detroit to highlight innovations in traffic data aggregation, vehicle detection and intersection safety monitoring solutions. These include the iCite Data Aggregator series, the future of advanced traffic control cabinets, and the latest Everloop precision detection system.

The iCite Data Aggregator series is a hardware device engineered to extract real-time intersection and traffic cabinet data from interconnected or non-interconnected intersections.

The DA-300 and DA-400 products are elements of the EDI iCite (Intelligent Cabinet Interface for Transportation Equipment) product suite. It is the first system capable of accessing real-time intersection and arterial traffic data from any traffic cabinet, via high-speed internal or external communications devices, regardless of the traffic controller or central ITS system. Traffic operations technicians and engineers can now access real-time arterial traffic and intersection information such as vehicle counts by phase, phase status changes, cabinet alarms, and overall health of the traffic cabinet status from remote, non-interconnected intersections.

Visitors to the companies’ booth will also have an opportunity of seeing the future of traffic control cabinets with Eberle’s Advanced Traffic Control Cabinet Components (ATCC), an open architecture traffic control cabinet peripherals suite, based on the ITE/NEMA/AASHTO ATC proposed standard. This new cabinet family offers significant improvements to conventional cabinet designs in modularity and compact size, motorist and technician safety, LED compatibility, and diagnostics. The ATC Cabinet, and its components, is intended to update or replace all cabinet types; NEMA TS-1, NEMA TS-2, ITS Cabinet v1, and Caltrans 33X.

Another innovation being featured at the booth is Reno A&E’s EverLoop Precision Detection System. It provides the ultimate synergy for vehicle detection applications and these superior prefabricated loop products incorporate CrossLinked Polyethylene Insulation for excellent thermal, electrical and physical properties.

Reno A&E has manufactured prefabricated loops for parking, access, drive-thru, traffic and railway control systems for more than 20 years and its loops have a 10-year factory warranty from the date of installation.

    Q-Free unveils device manager for traffic signal controllers
    Q-Free has unveiled a product which it says could save agencies tens of thousands of dollars when they upgrade signalised intersections. The Intelight Device Manager allows transportation agencies to remotely schedule firmware updates in bulk without putting an intersection into flashing red mode, the company says. Traditionally, technicians travel to each intersection and perform the update by putting the intersection in flash, a potentially hazardous scenario for technicians and motorists. The n

    Nasa tests drone traffic management system in Nevada and Texas
    US space agency Nasa is moving into the final phase of its four-year programme to prove that it can safely control drones flying over urban centres. Drones, less commonly called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), are likely to form an increasing proportion of the transportation mix for future cities, but questions remain over their safety – particularly in built-up, heavily populated areas. Nasa will test them in two areas – the gambling hotspot of Reno, Nevada, and the Texan city of Corpus Christi.
