521 CA Traffic will unveil several new innovations at Intertraffic 2016 in the areas of cycle detection, a state of the art Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system and a new comprehensive journey time and car park management solution.

CA Traffic’s latest Black Cat Cycle Radar and Black Cat Classifier with integrated cycle detection set a new benchmark in cycle detection and safety. The Black Cat Radar has been enhanced to improve both slow speed operation and the detection of multiple objects travelling in the same direction, enabling the Black Cat Cycle Radar to accurately count bicycles even when travelling in groups.

By combining its Black Cat and EVO range of intelligent ANPR cameras, CA Traffic’s innovative new WIM system provides comprehensive vehicle-by-vehicle data with pre-selection for overweight vehicles. Moreover, the system provides photographic evidence with embedded Metadata (including registration number) of the violation for instantaneous transmission to enforcement agency representatives for interception and also simultaneously to the central management system.

CA Traffic says all its products can be easily integrated into client management systems but are also fully supported by in-house back office systems; VDA-Pro R2 and Catalyst. These received key enhancements during 2015 with the addition of VMS management, O&D Surveys and journey time modules allowing maximum flexibility of data management and reporting.

Meanwhile, CA Traffic will also unveil a new Journey Time and Car Park Management solution that utilises the EVO range of ANPR cameras and Cortex Instation system which is currently operational across the UK’s Tyne & Wear region with more than 150 Evo8 Cameras providing real-time data. Furthermore, CA’s latest ANPR Camera, the EvoX has many new features and capabilities and will also be on show.

    Wider uses for weigh in motion data
    Colin Sowman talks to Terry Bergan of International Road Dynamics about the latest uses of weigh-in-motion systems. Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations

    ITS homes in on cycling safety
    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
