6965 Gardasoft Vision’s Triniti is an intelligent plug and play lighting platform which, providing traffic OEMs and systems integrators with a seamless, easy to use connection between OEM traffic software, cameras, system hardware and lighting. It provides important information and feedback about the operational status of the system as a whole, including the lights themselves, which enables consistency in light intensity to be ensured.

As the intensity of LED output is affected by the age and temperature of the light, changes in ambient light and the location of the lighting system, Gardasoft Triniti can use an adaptive technique based on the image itself to adjust light intensity to compensate for any variations. For example in ANPR, the image processing application can monitor the readability of the licence plate and the brightness of the background and characters and then instruct the lighting controller to adjust the lighting intensity if necessary.

    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

    Dave McNamara and Craig Simonds, Autotechinsider LLC, look at human-machine interface development out to 2015. The US auto industry is going through the worst crisis it has faced since the Great Depression. But it has embraced technologies that will produce the best-possible driving experience for the public. Ford was the first OEM to announce in-car internet radio and SYNC, its signature-branded User Interface (UI), is held up as the shining example of change embracement.

    Jason Gomez and Daniel Mondesir describe how passenger disruption was minimised during a major upgrading of the control room of Miami-Dade’s Metrorail. In 1984 when the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works’ (DTPW) Metrorail system was launched in southern Florida, trains ran 18km along a single line and stopped at 10 stations.

    Tammy Meehan and Thomas Hedblom of 3M consider the ongoing development of technology needed to introduce connected and autonomous vehicles. The transportation industry is in the midst of the most dramatic shift since Henry Ford introduced horseless carriages. Already we are seeing the increased use of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) which, along with the introduction of autonomous vehicles in the next few decades, will bring profound changes to vehicles and the environment in which they operate.
