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.
How to replace a SCOOT Loop with a Video Detection System in Five Simple Steps
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...
TMA-122 Radar replacing traffic light detector loops in Glasgow
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...
Portable Bicycle counters in Lancashire.
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...
Compare a Radar Traffic Counter to an Inductive Loop Counter
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...
Technology for traffic counting
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...
Our Radar Vehicle Detectors are Ground-breaking without breaking the ground
C & T technology Ltd are pleased to announce the TOPAS approvals for the TMA-122-L The TMA-122- a radar vehicle detector that allows you to detect bicycle, motorcycle & vehicle movement and presence detection in one detector. Unlike other detectors you do...
Are You Making the Most of Your Traffic Data?
The demand for traffic data has never been so high in the traffic management industry. The problem is how do you collect this data and present in a format that is useful for transport planners and authorities to use? The collection of data also needs to seamless,...
Bicycle Detection: A Beginner’s Guide to Traffic Signal Technologies
Bicycle detection is one area we find requires further explanation. In 2017, the UK government published the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy. One of the targets from this strategy is to double the cycling activity by 2025 to 1.6 billion ‘stages’ or journeys....
