Impact Recovery Systems has announced the Tuff Curb XLP, a low-profile high-performance kerbing system designed to withstand damaging high-speed, high-impact applications. Made from solid-coloured, UV-resistant, high-density polyethylene it is designed to withstand 20,000lb of static pressure, double the federal single axle vehicle maximum for a single wheel. In addition, Tuff Curb XLP has been tested by The Texas Transportation Institute to 2009 MASH standards.

Osram Opto Semiconductors has added three colours to its TopLED Black Series portfolio. They are now available not only in red and yellow, but also blue, green, and orange. The company says the LEDs are particularly suitable for monochromatic and multicolour displays, such as those in electronic road signs, travel information displays, parking control systems and price information pillars at fuel stations.

KSW Microtec and Metalcraft have announced availability of Metalcraft's RFID windshield tag that delivers extended read range, memory and privacy for vehicle applications including automated vehicle tracking and access control. The upgraded performance comes from a new KSW Microtec WindSpeed RFID inlay featuring the Impinj Monza 4 RFID tag chip family.

Jai has introduced two new 2MP industrial-grade CCD cameras featuring full HDTV resolution (1,920x1,080P) at 64fps, making them ideal for advanced traffic imaging and vehicle recognition applications in traffic management and traffic enforcement. The new AM-201CL (monochrome) and AB-201CL (colour) cameras are the second set of cameras from Jai to feature highperformance quad-tap CCD sensors from Kodak. Like the previously introduced 8MP cameras, the new HD cameras utilise the high speed of the quad-tap arch

The new 1.4 megapixel IEEE 1394b high-performance Grasshopper2 camera from Point Grey uses the exceptionally sensitive Sony ICX285 2/3in EXview HAD CCD and a 14-bit analogue-to-digital converter to generate high-quality 1.4 megapixel images at 30 FPS - double the rate of the previous Grasshopper. Measuring just 44x29x58mm in size, the device offers new features such as opto-isolated GPIO for industrial triggering and strobe output, and optimised performance imaging modes. Every Grasshopper2 GS2-FW camera is

Laser Technology has released what it claims is the most compact and affordable laser speed enforcement device on the market. The all-new TruSpeed S weighs less than 1lb and has a binocular-style design. Every speed reading and menu option is displayed inside the x7 sighting scope, giving officers confidence in verifying a specific vehicle's speed without their having to take their eye off the target. The custom BlackMask LCD allows everything to be clearly seen in both dark and bright light conditions.

The Dinion HD 1080p Day/Night IP camera, the latest addition to the Bosch High-Definition (HD) portfolio, is said to deliver uncompromising vision, even in busy, colourful scenes, to allow reliable identification of faces, objects and alphanumeric information over a wide area. Operators can zoom in to any part of a scene to examine specific details without losing clarity. Bosch says that a specially selected image sensor enables superior detection and analysis.

APT Skidata has further enhanced its portfolio of parking technologies with the introduction of a new longrange Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and reader solution to complement its existing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities. The company says a low-cost long-range RFID technology is ideal in certain scenarios where the full cost of an ANPR solution cannot be justified.

PTV AG has announced what it claims is the first solution that enables users to verify and, if necessary, modify a string of GPS coordinates (tracks). The new xMapMatch Server software component validates and corrects GPS coordinates using the underlying street maps, which is particularly useful for fleet management and transport data warehouse applications, pay-asyou- drive scenarios and floating vehicle data collection. As the company points out, GPS coordinates which are sent from the vehicle to the serv

High Sierra Electronics and Innovative Dynamics have announced a partnership focusing on the ITS industry through which new optical sensor products originally developed by Innovative Dynamics for the aerospace industry are being manufactured by HSE for use in the transportation sectors.

Advanced Micro Peripherals has introduced a high-performance, dual-channel, highdefinition, ultra low latency H264 encoder card, the H264-ULLcPCI, for CompactPCI systems. It allows system builders to easily add high-definition video capture and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (Part 10) encoding to their embedded CompactPCI equipment.

NDI Recognition Systems has announced the latest release of its Talon ANPR engine and says that Version 8.2 includes enhancements to performance, international reading capability and a simplified set-up.
