Public Transport Victoria (PTV) is testing a new analytics system on Melbourne's Yarra Trams, a first step toward the tram of the future. The trial is a partnership between PTV, Koelis Downer and Cisco. Launched as a demo for ITSWC, the trial uses cameras and analytics to count the people riding on trams and waiting at tram stops, and calculate typical journey times.

Sensys Networks is featuring its SensTraffic platform that provides automated statistical processing of precise traffic detection data, detailed performance measures, and remote network monitoring and diagnostics. Designed for arterial and freeway traffic data collection, SensFlow provides accurate volume, occupancy and speed reports. These real-time traffic data measures allow monitoring of congestion to optimise traffic operations. When used in conjunction with SensID data, the company says it gives un

In breaking news from the ITS World Congress, HMI Technologies announced that New Zealand's first autonomous bus will soon be operating at Christchurch airport. Following meetings at Intertraffic in Amsterdam and consequent conversations with engineers, HMI decided to purchase the vehicle from French manufacturer NAVYA. According to HMI’s Dean Zabrieszach, the announcement has already generated plenty of interest.

Laser Technology is exhibiting a twin laser/fourcamera ‘look-down’ system that can count and profile vehicles into a number of categories as well as measure speed and the headway between vehicles. The unit, which is mounted beneath motorway gantries, contains forward and rear facing CCTV and ANPR cameras and is said to provide accuracy of 2cm even when vehicles are travelling at speeds of 120km/h. In comparison to side fire lasers, the single-lane look-down configuration is claimed to offer better vehicl

Recent innovations in thermal imaging for traffic applications, including the Flir TrafiOne smart sensor and the Flir FC-Series AID thermal imaging camera are being featured on the Flir stand at this weeks ITS World Congress. TrafiOne, an all-round detection sensor for traffic monitoring and dynamic traffic signal control, uses thermal imaging and wifi tracking technology to provide traffic engineers with high-resolution data on vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at intersections and in urban environment

After taking out last years ITS World Congress Industry Award for the electronic toll collection (ETC) system, Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp was delighted to receive this year’s award for the High Speed Railway. Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp (THSRC) was named winner for its smart systems, reflecting the quality and strength of the local intelligent services sector. THSRC won for its disaster warning, passenger service and ticketing systems, as well as its provision of integrated i-traveling information for p

Global automotive components manufacturer Denso has used this week’s ITS World Congress to roll out its vision for the future of incar technology to the broader transport industry. Denso, which supplies components including management systems for petrol and diesel engines, hybrid vehicle products, transmission management system and cooling systems to most leading automotive OEMs, outlined its offerings for what it calls “co-operation among five key functions”.

Noptel is demonstrating its line of compact and lightweight laser radars at World Congress. Ease of installation, adaptivity, multi-functionality and maintanability make the sensors attractive for both OEM system integrators and end-users, ideal for traffic control applications. The CM5, CMP51 and CMP52 make up a family of laser distance measurement sensors. The Speeder X1 laser radar is equipped with a dual laser transmitter to allow measurement of two consecutive distance profiles, resulting in high accur

Today's traffic systems thrive on data, which is why Nortech Detection is debuting its IR200 intelligent vehicle loop detector at the ITS World Congress. Designed for motorway use, the IR200 collects, stores and reports multi-lane traffic data derived from 32 loops (or 16 lanes in speed measurement mode) at vehicle speeds to 200km/h. The IR200 incorporates incident detection capability implemented at the roadside. Using the TRRL HIOCC algorithm, the equipment monitors traffic occupancy per lane on a seco

For a sneak preview of the future, World Congress visitors should make their way to the Xerox stand where they can see the new name for the services-orientated part of the business: Conduent. Effective 1 January, Xerox will split into two separate legal entities and the transport-related businesses, along with those from payment and customer services and healthcare will be rebranded as Conduent. The new company will have 93,000 employees globally and revenues of US$7bn per year including that from the
