Swedish companies Denso, Qamcom, Amparo Solutions and Acreo Swedish ICT are jointly developing new radar sensors for improved traffic safety. The 79GHz UWB Imaging Radar Sensor project claims the current 24 GHz and 77GHz systems have bandwidth limitations and its members aim to develop more effective radar technology.

Teracue has expanded its ICUE-IPTV product family to include an IP-based multi-room video wall for network conferencing, control rooms, digital signage, events and presentations. The system uses the IP network to distribute the signals; each display has its own rear-mounted processing unit and the combined performance of the distributed units is managed by the web-based ICUE-GRID controller that can handle multiple walls in multiple rooms. ICUE-GRID is a scalable decentralised solution, offering flexible po

UK company Arbor Technology has launched the ELIT-2240, a rack-mount box PC for the digital signage market - particularly for passenger information systems. The 19-inch 1U industrial grade PC is based on Intel Core i5/i3 Celeron and Pentium processors in LGA 1155 socket (TDP is under 65W) and supports dual DDR3 LONG-DIMM socket for up to 16GB RAM for exceptional performance and efficiency. As the core of a public transportation central control unit the ELIT-2240 enables users to control and transmit real-t

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Traffic Engineering Research Laboratory (TERL) has approved Image Sensing Systems’ RTMS Sx-300 radar detector to its specification 660.

PTV Group has added mesoscopic simulation to its Vision Traffic Suite with PTV Vissim 8, which offers additional modelling level speeds up simulation by a factor of 50 compared to microscopic simulation.

Sick’s tunnel monitoring technology provides early warning of unsafe visibility and pollution conditions inside road and rail tunnels and ensure the safety of vehicle occupants and tunnel staff. Its VISIC100SF tunnel environment monitor combines visibility measurements, with a range of up to 15km, CO detection of 0- 300ppm (≤3% accuracy) and NO detection of 0-100ppm (≤3% accuracy).

Building on the continued development of the latest cloud-based traffic technology, Siemens has released what it says is an entirely new approach to traffic management, information and control using secure hosted cloud infrastructure, improving reliability and releasing users from owning and maintaining dedicated servers.

Following the murderous events in Paris, investigators will be looking at how the terrorists’ plans could have been detected and foiled and why that did not happen in this case. Full details are not yet known but from the press reports it appears that there were several missed opportunities which centre on travel and transport: A car stopped by the German police was found to contain weapons and had a Paris address programed into its satellite navigation; the ‘mastermind’ has travelled undetected from Syria,
