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.

    Traffic engineers can use the latest advances in vision technology to streamline and enhance traffic management. The idea of using one camera to perform all functions at an intersection is attractive to authorities for many reasons and camera supplier Gridsmart says it can make this happen. Its Bell Camera offers a horizon to horizon view that includes the centre of the intersection where vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians cross paths and it can be used for traffic light actuation, traffic data collection a

Well, that depends where you are and how you view statistics. Malmö is far more bike-friendly than Mumbai and the risk can either be perceived as small - one death per 29 million miles cycled in the UK in 2013 - or large - that equated to 109 deaths in the same year. Whatever your personal take on the data, the effect of these accidents can be felt indirectly too. News of c

    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
