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...

Back in May 2020, C&T Technology installed a trial of the Iteris VersiCam™ video traffic detector camera on a busy junction of the A38 Gloucester Road in Bristol. The aim was to replace a failed SCOOT detector and to make a long-term performance...

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...

One evening in May on Bristol’s busy A38 Gloucester Road, one of the main arterial roads in and out of Bristol, a SCOOT detector at a busy junction with an adjacent side road fails. Despite lockdown restrictions having eased traffic levels slightly, for this...

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...
