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.

    Machine vision offers new solutions to old problems
    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offer new options for travel time measurements
    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    Belgium to introduce WIM system
    In a bid to prevent the overloading of trucks, the Walloon Region of Belgium is to introduce a dynamic weigh in motion (WIM) system. Sensors installed in the road surface upstream of the fixed weighing stations will detect the vehicle’s weight, while automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will identify the its registration. Trucks identified as being overweight are then intercepted and directed to the static weighing system. WIM is already in use in the Flanders Region of Belgium. A total of fif
