826 TrafficCast International is here at ITS America Detroit with a live demonstration of connecting mobile devices and connected vehicles to the company’s IoT data collection and analytics platform.As the company points out, by providing a multi-purpose vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) roadside application platform, TrafficCast products and services are used as the foundation to enable a variety of smart city technology strategies. Included is a new approach to roadside sensor functionality: TrafficCast’s BlueToad Spectra RSU combines two wireless technologies, discoverable (unpaired) and non-discoverable (paired) Bluetooth (2.4 GHz) and Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC, 5.9 GHz) installed within one roadside device.DSRC coupled with TrafficCast’s BlueToad Spectra detection can help guide initiatives in connected and autonomous vehicle applications. TrafficCast says its BlueToad travel time system is already the market leader in Bluetooth signal detection technologies, used in performance measures assessments to manage travel times, road speeds and route choice behaviours. As the live demonstration here in Detroit will show visitors to the company’s booth, the system just got better.

    Need to analyse risks of 5.9GHz spectrum sharing
    Scott Belcher of ITS America explains why moves towards spectrum sharing in the 5.9GHz band should not be allowed to proceed until further analysis of the risks to road safety has been undertaken. The ability to move people and goods safely and efficiently has always had a direct impact on a country’s economic advantage and its citizens’ quality of life. It is estimated that by 2050, the number of vehicles around the world is set to double to two billion, placing enormous demands on the global transport

    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
