Germany-headquartered PTV claims that the current version of map&guide professional sets new standards for green logistics and transports and provides a wide range of additional useful features. Version 2009 offers what PTV claims is an extremely significant innovation, the emissions calculator, which allows dispatchers to calculate emissions, such as CO2, based on routes. The software uses official data provided by the German Environment Agency for the calculation process. PTV says map&guide professional i

SensorDynamics has launched the SD755 micromechanical combisensor which integrates an automotive integrating gyrometer and accelerometer in a single package. Both sensors transmit their signals over a shared SPI interface that facilitates further processing as well as minimising development time and system costs. The device is ideally suited for applications such as electronic stabilising systems in cars that match the actual road curvature with the angle lock. When there is a difference detected, single wh

Trimble has introduced the Resolution-SMT GPS receiver, a new embedded GPS receiver for timing applications to enable system integrators to add precise GPS to provide location, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and synchronisation to many products or systems where cost or size had previously been a limitation. The device is a complete, ready-to-go timing receiver in a 19x19x2.5mm shielded module. A Starter Kit from Trimble provides everything a designer needs to begin adding state-of-the-art GPS timing capab

RealTraffic Technologies has launched RTTNet, a new video analytics software that allows any surveillance video camera to function as an accurate and reliable traffic sensor

High Sierra Electronics is claiming a unique approach to Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) with the launch of its newest product, the Model 5470 NTCIP Mini-RWIS Remote Processing Unit. This device is the heart of a non-proprietary, open architecture NTCIP-compliant Environmental Sensor Station (ESS), designed for primary deployment within existing or new ATC cabinets and Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) cabinets. The company says this approach allows simpler implementation at a lower cost than traditional i

Optelecom-NKF has announced the Siqura C-60 E-MC, its new flagship encoder, as the world's first hardened, multi-format quad-streaming video server. The Siqura C-60 E-MC is capable of streaming H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MJPEG simultaneously. Each stream is optimised for its purpose, for example using high-quality H.264 or MPEG-2 for live viewing, low-bandwidth H.264 or MPEG-4 for storage and low-resolution MJPEG for web applications or mobile devices such as PDAs.

Mott MacDonald has launched its next generation Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) common database system called Osprey. The company says its extensive experience in UTMC has shaped the Osprey product to meet the challenging demands placed on transport operators in terms of network management. The software is designed to be an end-to-end offering to help local authorities deliver their transport plan objectives. The three main Osprey modules support control room staff in network management, promo

STMicroelectronics has introduced a world first - the market’s first 3-axis digital-output gyroscope that meets the industry-standard qualification for automotive integrated circuits (AEC-Q100). ST’s A3G4250D gyroscope newest angular-rate sensor aims to add positioning accuracy and stability to a wide range of automotive applications, including in-dash navigation, telematics and vehicle tolling systems.

Fujifilm has launched a number of new megapixel Varifocal lenses for day/night as well as high-resolution telezoom lenses for long range surveillance applications in high definition. Three new Varifocal lenses offer high resolutions of three megapixel and IR-correction for applications by day and night: YV3x6SR4A (f = 6~18 mm) and YV3.3x15SR4A (f = 15~50 mm) for a maximum sensor size of 1/2.7” and the DV4x12.5SR4A (f = 12.5~50 mm) for 1/1.8” sensors. Locking screws for zoom and focus, metal mounts and Fuji

APT SkiData has further extended the ‘wave and pay’ capabilities of its parking solutions with the new Artema EMV Level 2 contactless payment module as an integral part of its latest payment devices. Sited conveniently below the ‘traditional’ magnetic strip reader, the reader accepts a number of different contactless payment types in unattended environments, including Visa payWave and MasterCard PayPass cards.

Aldis has announced the latest release of the GridSmart solution for video vehicle detection and traffic data collection. One of the most visible new features of the GridSmart 3.2 is the replay feature that allows users to record and playback image data complete with information on zone presence and signal state. Even in the replay mode, users are still able to take advantage of the virtual pan-tilt-zoom feature and other standard GridSmart capabilities. This feature is useful for traffic engineers wishing

In response to market demands for a better way to accurately simulate evacuation, Legion has announced its Evac software product. It can simulate and analyse evacuation scenarios for places where people gather, such as stadiums, transport hubs, office buildings, theatres and concert halls. It enables the user to simulate, test and justify ideas for improving a design before making decisions, implementing changes and spending money. Simulation results can be analysed graphically through 3D animation, colour

Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America has continued its commitment to 4K resolution with its new 56P-QF65LCU monitor. This LCD display offers QFHD (quadruple full high-definition) resolution with an 3840 x 2160 pixels, which means that more than eight megapixels are displayed on one 56-inch screen, an enormous amount of visual content on one device. The monitor allows one person to observe a wide range of data on one screen. The new QFHD monitor condenses information from a tiled display wall used

UK-headquartered mobile surveillance solutions manufacturer WCCTV has announced that its Tower product has been granted Type Approval status for use on UK railway infrastructure by Network Rail. The Tower, the only equipment of its kind to win type approval, is a complete al-in-one surveillance system which has been designed to operate at trackside. It is non-conductive and can be quickly and easily installed. The system can be self-powering for up to eight weeks and provides live video from a heavy duty c

Mico has launched a full-power brake system with ABS and traction control to provide added control for multi-wheeled vehicles operated both on and off-highway. The company claims the system enhances vehicle stability while decreasing stopping distances and improving acceleration under low traction conditions. As many as eight wheels can be controlled independently of the others, which makes the system easily adaptable to four-, six- and eight-wheeled vehicles. The electronic control unit (ECU) monitors whe
