WiseCow wireless magneto delivers real time vehicle detection and flow data

French company Hikob will be presenting the Wise Cow device, a new generation of wireless magneto resistive sensor node. It can be placed between the road pavement in a few minutes and communicates real-time information on vehicle detection and flows. The device can be configured in a dynamic or in a static detection mode for traffic or parking applications. It can also measure the road surface temperatures which is useful in the winter service decision-making process.

  • Additional functionality gives loops a continued lease of life
    March 20, 2014
    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although

    TM 2.0 views connected vehicles and V2I as two-way communications channels, benefitting traffic management and drivers, as Alan Dron discovers. As connected vehicles are progressively rolled out there will come a point at which traffic managers and traffic management centres (TMCs) will have to gear up to cope with a rapidly-evolving road scenario. The TM 2.0 Platform (see box) is promoting a concept of new-generation traffic management (which carries the same TM 2.0 title) and is studying how future T
