  • The benefits of combining enforcement and traffic management
    February 27, 2013
    Jason Barnes considers how combining enforcement equipment with other traffic management technologies might benefit our future – if only the will were really in place to do so. During the ITS World Congress in Vienna in October last year, Navtech Radar and Vysion­ics ITS announced a strategic partnership that would combine the expertise of Navtech in millimetre-wave wide-area surveillance technology with Vysionics’ machine vision-based automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and average speed measurement
  • Airborne traffic monitoring - the future?
    March 1, 2013
    A new frontier in the quest to monitor road traffic is opening up… but using airborne drones to reduce the jams comes with some thorny issues. Chris Tindall reports. Imagine if you could rely on a system that provided all the data you needed to regulate traffic flow, route vehicles and respond swiftly to emergencies for a fraction of the cost of piloting a helicopter. That system exists, but as engineers and traffic managers start to explore the potential of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – more commonly k
  • First full-scale Hyperloop test track ‘planned for 2016’
    March 2, 2015
    According to website The Verge, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) has secured land for the first full-scale Hyperloop, planned for a 2016 launch in the California model town of Quay Valley. Building off Elon Musk's freely available designs, the crowdfunded company has marked out a five-mile stretch of Quay Valley adjacent to California's Interstate 5 freeway as a place where the innovative transportation system can be deployed. If successful, it would be the first full-size implementation of Musk'
  • New way of ‘harvesting’ energy from shock absorbers ‘could benefit transport industry’
    October 31, 2016
    A UK university student researcher has made a breakthrough by designing and constructing a new system which ‘harvests’ the energy generated by a vehicle’s shock absorbers and feeds it back into batteries or electrical systems such as air conditioning. Ruichen Wang from the University of Huddersfield carried out the project to obtain his doctorate at the University and has published his findings. The article, Modelling, Testing and Analysis of a Regenerative Hydraulic Shock System, provides a summary of
