Sensys Networks’ new FlexConnect synchronous data link control interface (SDLC) module for TS2 traffic signal controllers, provides an SDLC interface between the controller and the company’s wireless vehicle detection system (VDS). Traffic detection events are signalled from VDS to the TS2 controller in conformance with the NEMA TS2-2003 specification and using FlexConnect and eliminates the need for interface cards without requiring available slots in traffic signal cabinets. The unit supports 64 channe

Applied Concept’s Stalker Phodar SE-1 traffic violation evidence system is said to offers easy set-up, adaptable capture software and IP-based communications for automatic monitoring of up to 32 vehicles travelling in either direction across four lanes of traffic.

Allied Vision has released a new entry-level Goldeye model for the short wave infrared spectrum (SWIR), the Goldeye G-008 SWIR, which has all the features and benefits of the current Goldeye camera family, including all image correction and optimisation functionalities. It is equipped with a smaller resolution sensor, making infrared imaging affordable for many cost-sensitive applications in which the lower resolution is enough to do the job. The Goldeye G-008 SWIR is fitted with a QVGA InGaAs sensor (320 x

The new release of PTV’s transport planning software, PTV Visum 15, is said to set new standards in multimodality and allow even more sustainable transport planning. New functions available in the software include the ability to analyse the demand, quantity and placement of park and ride (P+R) sites, enabling users to evaluate existing and future capacities. To allow users to model cycle and vehicle route-planning, PTV has enhanced the stochastic assignment so that path-level impedance elements can now be r

Forum8 has built and delivered what is said to be the world’s first five-screen 3D stereoscopic VR driving simulator for vehicle dynamics research and development, to Nagoya University in Japan. This simulator incorporates elements such as driving simulation, traffic micro-simulation and vehicle dynamics/performance, by building on the interactive nature of Forum8’s 3D VR software VR-Design Studio. It is able to monitor and record a range of human factors (perceptions and traits) through the use of

News items and articles in this issue illustrate the highs and lows of ITS and the dilemma inherent in enforcement application. An IIHS report showing that speed cameras change motorists' behaviour beyond the immediate vicinity of the installations is further evidence of the positive influence the technology can have, however the guilty plea in the Chicago red light corruption case serves to undermine the entire concept.

Ertico-ITS Europe is hosting a webinar on 21 September at 1500-1600 CET to discuss the Mobinet platform, which is intended to ensure pan-European coverage of mobility services: the same travel service can easily run in every European country.

Christie makes managing content and information across multiple screens easy with its video wall controllers and video processors. Offering a comprehensive range of tools for one or thousands of users to simultaneously view, listen to and interact with any source of information from virtually anywhere through a single, robust system, Christie Phoenix is a network-distributed information management system designed specifically for control room applications. It enables the same information, presented in the s

Christie’s high-performance LCD flat panels offer both tiled display options and high resolution discrete displays, coupled with energy efficient LED backlighting and high pixel density for critical monitoring applications or digital displays.

The Entero HB range of video cubes from audio and visual specialist Christie offers standard-sized, stackable, rear-screen and front-screen projection cubes. Front access design addresses space limitations with the ability to put the cubes directly up against a wall while maintaining performance, image quality and reliability.

AutoVu Free-Flow from security solutions manufacturer Genetec is a new parking enforcement module for its AutoVu automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) solution. Genetec says it will help increase parking enforcement efficiency by providing a real-time inventory of vehicles parked illegally in monitored parking lots.

Moxa has introduced new technology which it claims improve network reliability for smart transportation applications. V-On Video Always On is a video stream recovery technology on Moxa's latest Ethernet switches that provides 50ms redundancy for multicast video streams when used with Moxa's Turbo Ring or Turbo Chain. The company says that with a simple configuration setting, the technology enables the video stream to resume almost as quickly as the network itself.

Digital security specialist Gemalto has released its new SafeNet Multi-Link that provides the equivalent of 10x10Gbps high-speed encryption devices in one unit. With a total encrypted bandwidth of 100Gbps, the CN8000 helps enterprises and service providers encrypt multiple network links and more traffic and protect sensitive data transmitted across increasingly large-scale data networks, providing performance and security forblarge-scale, high-capacity networks.

Launched at the 2015 International Transport Forum (ITF) in Leipzig, the latest mobile app from software manufacturer PTV Group combines tourist information, events programmes, transport information or the latest mobility options in a single app.

The addition of Detect on Stop (DOS) technology to EMX’s Ultraloop range of vehicle detectors, means the system only triggers when a vehicle stops for at least one second over the loop. It ignores cross-traffic and vehicles that keep moving, enabling parking exit gates to stay closed.
