Traffic Monitoring for Highway Authorities

Traffic Monitoring for Highway Authorities

A missed vehicle call at a signal junction can add delay to every following cycle. A failed loop can leave an authority facing lane closures simply to restore a basic detection function. Traffic monitoring for highway authorities must therefore do more than count...
How Accurate Are Radar Traffic Detectors on Roads?

How Accurate Are Radar Traffic Detectors on Roads?

A detector can report a vehicle every time one passes and still be the wrong detector for the junction. For highways teams, the useful question is not simply whether radar works, but how accurate are radar traffic detectors for the decision being made: calling a...
What Affects Roadside Radar Performance?

What Affects Roadside Radar Performance?

A radar detector can be installed without closing a lane or cutting the carriageway, but roadside radar performance is not simply a matter of mounting a sensor and applying power. Its useful output depends on whether the detector is correctly matched to the approach...
Integrate Detector Outputs with Signal Controllers

Integrate Detector Outputs with Signal Controllers

A detector can identify a waiting cyclist, an approaching vehicle or a growing queue with impressive accuracy. That capability only improves the network when the controller receives the right demand, at the right time, in the right form. To integrate detector outputs...
How to Validate Video Detection Accuracy on Roads

How to Validate Video Detection Accuracy on Roads

A video detector can appear to perform well while still creating poor operational outcomes. A missed cyclist at a side-road stop line, a false call from headlight reflections, or a late-moving queue can each affect safety and junction efficiency. To validate video...
