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.

    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

    With the Idris system now validated as a speed verification tool, the way is open for loops to be used in more complex enforcement applications. Diamond Consulting Services (DCS), developer of the Idris inductive loop-based vehicle detection and classification system, has recently successfully conducted validation trials which, the company says, open the way for Idris to be used for speed verification and loop-based sensors to be used for more complex applications such as speed-on-green and differential spe
