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.
Traffic Detector Replacement for Inductive Loops
Traffic detector replacement for inductive loops can cut roadworks, improve detection accuracy and reduce maintenance across modern traffic networks.
Why Non Intrusive Traffic Detection Works
Non intrusive traffic detection improves safety, cuts disruption and delivers accurate vehicle, cycle and pedestrian data for smarter roads.
Radar Bicycle Detection at Junctions Works Better
Radar bicycle detection at junctions improves cyclist safety, signal response and installation efficiency without disruptive roadworks or loops.
AI Video Traffic Detection Systems Explained
AI video traffic detection systems help highways teams improve flow, safety and data quality without disruptive roadworks or loop cuts.
SCOOT loops and above ground radar for Traffic Signals
Replacing legacy SCOOT loops and VA detection loops with the TMB-133 above ground radar detector in Glasgow Background & Context With a metropolitan population approaching 1.8 million people, the city of Glasgow requires a highly efficient, resilient...
RADAR DETECTION REVOLUTION: SCOTLAND LEADS THE CHARGE
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...
Stop Line Detectors: How Scotland’s Roads are Benefiting from Radar
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...
The Economics of Inductive Loops vs. Radar Traffic Detection
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...
Are we finally ready to get serious about protecting cyclists?
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...
How to count bicycles on the highway and cycle paths.
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...
