Kowa has added new lenses to its range, especially designed for ITS applications. These lenses have a mechanically modified focus ring which makes it easier to focus at distances of 10-45m, typical working distances for ITS applications.
Parsons’ Intelligent Intersections solution uses advanced analytics and algorithms to reduce congestion and improve mobility around cities. By gathering data already being generated at the intersection, the solution builds a dashboard of information. Traffic engineers can use the dashboard to visualise information in real-time, identify hotspot priorities, and drill down to automated traffic signal performance measures (ATSPM), allowing for more effective decision making.
'Keep it simple, stupid' is an oft-forgotten axiom but in terms of road user charging it is entirely appropriate. So says the ANWB's Ferry Smith. A couple of decades ago, it might have been largely true that the technology aspects of advanced road infrastructure were the main obstacles to deployment. However, 20 years or more of development have led to a situation where such 'obstacles' are often no more than a political fig-leaf. Area-wide Road User Charging (RUC) is a case in point; speak candidly to syst
