CT Technology Blog
Welcome to the CT Technology Blog! On this page you will find information and insights into the use of above-ground radar detectors for improving the performance and safety of our road networks. The Blog also includes some examples of project installations that demonstrate how these technologies are progressing the way we can monitor and control traffic flows.
When Should Councils Replace Inductive Loops?
Learn when should councils replace loops, the warning signs and how above-ground detection reduces disruption, improves control and supports safer roads.
Can Traffic Radar Measure Queues Reliably?
Can traffic radar measure queues? Learn how radar estimates queue length, its limits, and how to specify reliable detection for junction control schemes
Intersection Presence Sensors for Better Signal Control
Intersection presence sensors provide reliable above-ground vehicle detection, improving signal control, reducing delay, roadworks and maintenance demand.
Traffic Sensors for Smarter, Safer Road Networks
Traffic sensors give highways teams accurate, non-intrusive data to improve signal control, road safety, maintenance and network performance across roads.
