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.

Locations on both the East and West Coasts of the US are scheduled for early deployments of IBM's new Traffic Prediction Tool (TPT) statistical analysis model for the fine-time resolution and near-term prediction of road flow conditions. Developed by IBM's Watson Research Laboratories, TPT is designed to analyse data from the the key detection indicators - average vehicle volumes and speeds passing a location in a given time interval -
