Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions division has unveiled its new colour GigE camera module.

Eberle Design (EDI) has unveiled the CMU ADU (auxiliary display unit), a rack-mounted display module that provides an LED fourcolour by 32 channel full intersection display. This is combined with a SmartMonitor interface to a CMU-212 cabinet monitor unit (CMU). The company says it designed the new ADU because many transportation agencies no longer supply their personnel with laptops for connecting with instrumentation in on-street cabinets.

Traficon has announced the Viewcom/E Max+, a communication board for intersection control. Its task is to transmit traffic data and alarm events issued by VIP (video image processor) vehicle presence detectors. This new module provides H.264 compressed video, which guarantees best quality video while consuming minimal network bandwidth. It offers quad view functionality that allows an operator to quickly see the whole intersection in a mosaic of four streaming videos. The dedicated serial communicatio

Aaxeon Technologies has launched an 8-port industrial RS-232/422/485 PCI express card. The new MSC-208C, which is universally compatible with up to eight new and legacy RS- 232/422/485 devices, offers a PCI express single high speed serial slot and is fully compliant with PCI express base specifications. It supports a baud rate up to 921.6 Kbps and may be offered with surge and isolation protection (MSC- 208C-SI).

Perceptics has launched a new licence plate reader (LPR) aimed at turnpike authorities and e-tolling system integrators to help capture more unpaid tolling revenue from violators. The company claims its new system is a higher performance technology designed to capture license plate data across a wider field of view than existing LPR systems, enabling authorities to read data in situations where a vehicle changes lanes. According to Perceptics, vehicles without pre-paid tolling transponders will typically ch

TSS-Transport Simulation Systems has announced the release of Aimsun 7 which takes the previous version's ability to integrate static traffic assignment, microscopic and mesoscopic modelling and then ramps up the concept of integration to a whole new level with the introduction of the hybrid simulator. TSS claims this eagerly awaited tool has long been at the top of the traffic modelling wish list and allows users to model large scale networks mesoscopically while zooming in microscopically on any areas tha

Nexcom has expanded its range of security surveillance solutions with the launch of the NViS 8480/8490 specifically designed to address HD CCTV applications. Powered by second generation Intel Core i7/i5 desktop/workstation grade processors with Q67/C206 chipset, the system is able to display and playback full HD videos through 8/16 channels.

A new mobile application from Siemens called iwatch, based on its Sitraffic Concert traffic management solution, gives service engineers ubiquitous access to real-time traffic information on their iPads while in the field. According to Siemens, the system puts critical information in the hands of those who need it and does it immediately. Pull down menus allow service engineers to quickly search intersections in their area for issues that need attention, eliminating the need to check in with a central traff

Vantage Vector is the latest addition to Iteris' portfolio of Vantage vehicle detection solutions. The new device, which fuses the company's proven video detection with radar sensor technology to extend the range and richness of data, will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2012. Vantage Vector is an all-in-one vehicle detection sensor with a wide range of intersection sensing capabilities, including stop-bar and advanced zone detection, as well as sensing properties that enable new safety and adaptive

Point Grey has introduced another innovation in imaging with the release of its new Flea3 USB 3.0 camera series. Measuring just 29 x 29 x 30mm, the FL3-U3 is claimed to be the smallest USB 3.0 camera in the world and is designed specifically for the demanding requirements of machine and computer vision applications. The first available models are based on monochrome and colour versions of the Sony IMX036, a high-quality CMOS sensor capable of generating 3.2 megapixel images at 60 FPS. "USB 3.0 is rapidly ga

WebFleet Mobile, a smartphone app designed to provide managers on the move with essential information about their vehicle fleet, has been launched by TomTom and is now available on iOS and Android platforms. The app includes a detailed map which provides a view of the current traffic situation using TomTom HD Traffic. It allows managers to quickly pinpoint the location of their fleet, obtaining information on each vehicle's destination and estimated time of arrival, as well as trip data such as mileage and

German companies KSW Microtec and Melzer have announced a collaborative initiative to produce a multi-layer UHF label for customised applications in access control and asset tracking. Drawing on the flexible engineering of KSW's windshield inlays and powered by Melzer's new SL-600 processing machine for converting selfadhesive label stock and dry inlays to fully functional RFID tags, the partners claim the labels offer the best and consistent read range for all types of applications.

Swiss positioning and wireless chip and module supplier u-blox has announced immediate availability of two new products equipped with the company's automotive dead reckoning (ADR) technology. Based on u-blox' tightly coupled Kalman Filter algorithm, the NEO-6V GPS module (pictured) and UBXG6010- SA-DR single chip deliver drop-in, self-calibrating GPS dead reckoning performance for high precision vehicle navigation systems.

Esri CityEngine 2011, the latest version of Esri's software for creating high-quality 3D content, is now available.
