Swedish company 4504 Sensebit is showing its new FLEX vehicle sensor, a standalone device with integrated battery and modem that requires no roadside installation. The sensor is installed in the centre of the lane to be measured and is managed remotely.


Sensebit says that the combination of rapid installation and accurate data transmission makes it an ideal product for measuring AADT, effect studies and seasonal variations in traffic.

The company develops and markets products in the wireless sensor networks field, with a focus on traffic information.

Another product on display at Intertraffic is the ED-100, a power-over-ethernet vehicle sensor that can be installed quickly and uploads data in real time. Like FLEX, ED-100 is installed in the centre of a lane and is managed remotely. It replaces inductive loops and other traditional solutions for continuous data collection and ITS applications.

    Measuring vehicle lengths with a single loop - promising results
    District 7 of Caltrans has been conducting trials to see whether the use of a single inductive loop to measure vehicle lengths and so identify heavy trucks is feasible. So far, the results have been very promising, according to Lead Transportation Engineer Steve Malkson. Between them, the adjoining ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the US's two biggest, cover some 10,700 acres (43km2) and 68 miles (109km) of waterfront.

The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only

    Opening the closed-loop to realise ITS benefits
    Jim Leslie, manager of ITS applications engineering at the Econolite Group looks at practical steps in transitioning from closed-loop masters to a centralised ATMS. Not many years ago the standard method of coordinating signalised intersections in local areas was to install an on-street master – each of which monitored and controlled a limited number of signal controllers or intersections as a closed-loop system. And, to a certain extent, each closed-loop system was autonomous from others deployed by the ag
