According to Init, its new Mobile-Eco2, a vehicle health and driver behaviour management system, improves the economy and ecology of public transit.

The old fuel tax methods can no longer produce the funding required to maintain the infrastructure without a massive increase in duty rates. In this issue we get a variety of views on two of the hottest topics in transportation; financing models and Smart Cities.

International Road Dynamics (IRD) says its VectorSense sensor suite provides a new measurement technology for use in commercial vehicle operations, toll road operations and vehicle safety and traffic data collection applications.

Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) has released a new version of its Vimba SDK, platform-independent software development kit.

Portable wheel load scale supplier Intercomp has updated its most popular wheel load scale models with a solar charger built into the scale indicator, allowing the scales to operate continuously without requiring direct power charging.

Inrix’s latest traffic monitoring tools help transportation agencies in the US and Europe monitor conditions on more roads in real-time and receive earlier notification of accidents, unplanned road closures and other events.

Software and consulting group PTV has launched a new version of its Visum 14 transport planning software with additional functions including ‘rubber-banding’ which enables users to model spontaneous detours. The company says that this describes the way starting point, main activity and intermediate stops are connected with a metaphorical rubber band.

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT), has added speed, class and count capabilities to its Canoga 9000 series, using a single width four-channel traffic management card in place of the traditional two cards system.

Telensa has enhanced its PLANet SmartGrid street light control system by adding an on-board GPS module and the new NEMA 7-pin connector to its telecell options.

Siemens Road and City Mobility has unveiled a new version of its m60 advanced traffic controller (ATC) software that acts as the intersection management nerve centre for small, medium and large cities.

Point Grey has launched its largest selection yet of USB3 Vision and GigE Vision cameras, displayed at the recent Vision 2014 exhibition.

Vision Components’ Carrida software engine is a powerful OEM Library, which is easy to integrate into existing security and surveillance applications, including access control, toll control and traffic analysis. The high-performance, hardware-independent software tool assures reliable high speed recognition of vehicle number plates. With a typical processing time of 30ms and a recognition accuracy of more than 96%, the ALPR/ ANPR library precisely and reliably identifies number plates, even if dirty, dam

CBC Europe offers a wide range of high resolution Computar lenses for a variety of applications, including machine vision, intelligent transport systems, traffic monitoring, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). New additions to the range include 4/3” lenses, lenses for thermal imaging cameras and board-mount lenses with 4k resolution.

Point Grey’s range of low-cost and high-performance CCD and CMOS cameras is ideal for traffic applications. Its high performance Grasshopper3 camera line features Sony’s Pregius global shutter CMOS sensor, available in both USB 3.0 and GigE interfaces. The fast and extremely sensitive IMX174 sensor is a 1.5-inch Exmor CMOS that offers an image resolution of 1920 x 1200 and frame rates up to 162fps. Global shutter CMOS technology allows images of fast-moving vehicles to be captured without motion distort

Smartek Vision’s industrial GigE camera GCP1931 with Sony’s ¬ first image sensor based on CMOS technology with global shutter provides a cost-effective camera for traf¬fic surveillance in all lighting conditions. With 2.3MP resolution at a high frame rate of 50fps, high sensitivity due to the Sony Exmor technology and large pixels of 5.86μm, Smartek Vision utilises the full bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet based on the GigE Vision standard as a proven data interface.
