7366 Tinynode, a Swiss specialist in wireless vehicle detection systems, will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to introduce a new generation of vehicle detection sensors that will provide customers with greater value, stability and business continuity. This innovative sensor technology – called Series 4 (S4) second generation – is being integrated into the company’s  A4 and B4 car detection devices, as well as in A4-H and B4-H truck detection devices.

Now part of Paradox Engineering, Tinynode says its solutions provide a simple, cost-effective and reliable way to detect if a parking lot is free or occupied by a vehicle, offering data reliability exceeding 98%. Installed above or flush with the ground, the products rely on a patented, lowest-power, multi-hop, self-configuring radio communication protocol to build effective and secure wireless networks enabling a number of parking-related applications.

    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

    Inherent weaknesses in satellite communications are leading several countries to re-evaluate terrestrial-based backup systems. There is a tale frequently told in satellite navigation circles, of how landing systems at Newark Airport were disrupted by a truck driver using GPS jamming equipment as he drove along the New Jersey Turnpike. While there was no threat to flight safety as the interference to GPS reference stations being tested, the story highlights how apparently benign threats have the potential t
