What Is Non Intrusive Vehicle Detection?

What Is Non Intrusive Vehicle Detection?

A junction can have a fully optimised signal plan and still perform poorly if its detector fails to recognise a waiting cyclist, misses a queue, or remains occupied after traffic has cleared. That is the practical question behind what is non-intrusive vehicle...
Radar Detectors vs Inductive Loops for Traffic

Radar Detectors vs Inductive Loops for Traffic

A failed detector at a signalised junction is rarely a minor fault. It can leave a side road waiting unnecessarily, weaken bus priority, create avoidable queues or prevent an accurate picture of demand from reaching the controller. The choice between radar detectors...

How to Monitor Cyclist Movements at Junctions

A junction can perform well for general traffic on paper and still fail cyclists in practice. The problem is usually not intent. It is visibility. If you cannot see where cyclists approach from, how they position themselves, when they hesitate, or which conflicts...

How to Reduce Roadworks for Traffic Detection

Every lane closure has a cost. It affects journey time reliability, increases exposure for installation crews, adds traffic management complexity and often limits when detection upgrades can be delivered at all. That is why more authorities and contractors are asking...
