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.

    David Crawford reviews developments in temporary ITS. Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.

    Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    Future traffic management needs new thinking, new technology
    One of the biggest problems facing US ITS professionals, says Georgia DOT's Hugh Colton, is the constrained thinking which is sometimes forced upon those making procurement decisions. It is time, he says, to look again at how we do things. In the November/December 2010 edition of this journal, Pete Goldin interviewed Joseph Sussman, chairman of the US's ITS Program Advisory Committee. Amongst other observations that Sussman made was that, technologically, ITS in the US is 10 years behind that in the world-l
