US-headquartered 4469 Houston Radar, a leading supplier of Doppler and FMCW radars for the traffic industry with customers in over 27 countries, will highlight three major product innovations - SpeedLane, the Tetryon traffic server, and the Armadillo Tracker - at Intertraffic Amsterdam.

Houston Radar SpeedLane is state-of-the-art true dual beam, low power side-fire radar. It is designed to accurately detect lane, speed and class of individual vehicles and compute per lane volume, occupancy, gap, average speed, 85th percentile and headway parameters.

Among an array of features and benefits, the company claims the world’s lowest power usage for this highly integrated multilane traffic measurement radar – at just 0.85 Watts SpeedLane requires ten times less power than competing products and it mounts on the side of the road for non-intrusive traffic data collection. Additionally, its patent-pending true dual beam “speed trap” technology inherently provides accurate measurements without the need for in-situ calibration and the device can simultaneously measures all vehicles in eight user defined lanes.

Houston Radar’s Tetryon traffic server is a customisable cloud server used to aggregate data from multiple SpeedLanes in one central location.

Meanwhile, the company says its Armadillo Tracker, a fully integrated multilane bidirectional traffic statistics gathering device, is the leading non-intrusive real-time and archiving statistics collector in the world. It is also claimed to be the smallest radar-based stats collection box with target tracking, multilane and bidirectional capabilities. The device collects individual time-stamped vehicle counts, speeds and class (up to three) per direction in up to 2+2 lanes making it a perfect fit for traffic monitoring and speed study applications.

    Imago Technologies is showcasing its new VisionCam LM which can unify different components of a line scan application in a single device. A modern, fast Arm Dual-Cortex A15 processor with Linux processes the data from a line scan sensor with up to 8Kb pixels in monochrome or colour. With over four times higher computing power in comparison with a Dual-Cortex A9, line scan rates of up to 50 kHz with 4Kb resolution can be reached and processed.

    Using more than one billion miles of driving behaviour data, collected over three years (2011-2014) and including 8,809 separate journeys in 5,353 vehicles, Wunelli, a LexisNexis company, has revealed the most frequent braking black spots across the UK created by speed cameras, based on motorists braking excessively just before speed cameras to avoid being caught. Eighty per cent of all the UK speed cameras investigated had hard braking activity, with braking increasing six fold on average at these loca

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.
