Texas opts for ISS travel time monitoring

Image Sensing Systems (ISS) is here at the ITS America Annual Meeting to highlight its RTMS Sx-300 radar and it is doing so against the background of a major deployment in Texas.

6626 Image Sensing Systems (ISS) is here at the ITS America Annual Meeting to highlight its RTMS Sx-300 radar and it is doing so against the background of a major deployment in Texas.

375 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was looking to address a need in El Paso to provide travel time information for the general public and to help with studies on ramp and arterial management after an incident occurs on the freeway. ISS along with its partner, 8122 Paradigm Traffic Systems and 6771 TrafficNow, provided a complete solution to address the needs of TxDOT.

The combination of the RTMS Sx-300 and DeepBlue Bluetooth sensors by TrafficNow provide traffic information by being a big data source for up to 12 lanes of traffic.

The RTMS Sx-300 provides the point information such as volume, occupancy, speed and classification and the DeepBlue sensor provides the spatial information such as travel time and origin/destination matrix. The data from these two sensors will provide commuters around El Paso with travel information, allowing drivers to make smart decisions to help reduce their commute. “We had the perfect solution for this project,” said Ryan Zenzen, South Texas account manager at Paradigm Traffic Systems, Image Sensing’s distribution partner.

“The Sx-300 and DeepBlue sensor produce the accurate data needed for real-time travel information and give the customer the whole picture.”

This is also the first major installation of the RTMS Sx-300 radar. “The Sx-300 offers an integrated solution with industry leading zero setback capability and a best in class five-year warranty,” said Mike Ouellete, VP of RTMS Sales for Image Sensing Systems.

There are 32 RTMS Sx-300 radars and DeepBlue dual-channel sensors deployed and in operation on Interstate 10 around El Paso, Texas. More than 200 RTMS radars have now been deployed on the system.

Jo Versavel starts by making one thing clear: long-term forecasts as to what the future holds for video-based traffic monitoring are to all intents and purposes meaningless. The state of the art is developing so fast that in reality it's impossible to say where we'll be in 10 years' time, says the Managing Director of Traficon. In his opinion making firm predictions even five years out is too ambitious, whereas

    March 29, 2018
    Local authorities and communities must understand the impacts of the new mobility options and regulate to get the transport systems they want, according to a new report. Colin Sowman takes a look. Outside of the big cities plagued with congestion, the existing transportation system(s) often cope adequately, and the ongoing workload (maintenance, safety…) is more than enough to keep local transport authorities busy. Is it, therefore, a good use of public service employees’ time to keep abreast of the raft
