In the specialist world of traffic management systems, the tide has slowly started to turn on inductive loop detection. With pressures on highway maintenance departments to squeeze more out of their budgets and to find more sustainable solutions, the days of the dated...

Two installations earlier this year of the TMA-122 Radar Stop-line Detectors offer great examples of why this game-changing traffic management technology is becoming increasingly visible on Scotland’s roads.  Both installations were carried out by Dynniq following a...

There are a host of traffic detection systems available. In this blog, we look at a cost-benefit analysis of the inductive Loop traffic detection system compared to the latest generation of radar detection systems for a typical, busy urban road junction.  The Loop...

Next week marks the close of the UK government’s consultation on the first major revision of the Highway Code in a generation. One of the main changes being proposed for protecting cyclists is to create “a formalised hierarchy of road users, which...

Part of the standard report on the IDASO core system The Icoms Detections TMA-3B3 Radar / LIDOR counts bicycles and collects speed data on bicycle paths, and bicycle lanes. The non intrusive technology can be mounted on existing street furniture and the data is then...

This blog describes how to replace a SCOOT Loop detector with a video detection system. As illustrated in our recent Bristol case study video detection is now considered a viable and cost effective alternative for conventional SCOOT loop detectors and are...

Glasgow City Council in 2016 took on trial two dual zone detectors as an option for replacing traffic light detector loops. After extensive testing they installed radar VA detectors on traffic signals in the city usually on single approaches or sites that were not...

Pedestrian and cycling counter installed near Bamber Bridge, Lancashire. The Icoms Detections TMA-3B3 Portable Bicycle counters use Radar / LIDOR to collect and report bicycle counts and speed data on bicycle paths, and lanes. The non intrusive technology can be...

About Radar Traffic Counter Classifiers We carried out a 3 week study to compare an Icoms TMSA-SA radar traffic counter with an inductive loop detector traffic counter. The TMS-SA is designed to enable an engineer to carry out traffic surveys for up to 3 weeks without...

Here we take a look at the risks associated with the technology that is available for traffic counters. Loops and Tube Traffic Counter Classifiers The traditional way to count traffic using automatic counters is to use either loops or tubes. These have proven over the...
