PTV Group is looking to meet with transportation officials from across the spectrum, from research to applications, at its booth this week during ITS America 2016 San Jose--according to Steve Perone, vice president for the company. The PTV team hopes to show off its real-time predictions system that integrates with various data vendors around the world. Already, PTV Optima is deployed in 20 cities, including Moscow, a car-centric city, and Dubai, a up-and-coming innovator in multimodal systems. PTV is also

smartmicro is highlighting its multi-lane 3D object tracking sensors this week at ITS America San Jose.

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is demonstrating its new website on transformational technologies in transportation at ITS America San Jose this week. The website includes resources about ongoing research, publications, news and events. Technologies covered include connected and automated vehicles, shared use services; unmanned aerial systems (drones); nextgen, internet of things, smarts cities; big data; and cybersecurity. Attendees can check out the new site at www.TRB.org/ main/TransTech.aspx or

Iteris is spreading one of the most important messages in the transportation industry: ITS can help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions today. On Monday, two Iteris associate vice presidents for transportation systems, John Lower and Sam Morrissey, took the stage in an ITS University session to make the case. “The focus of the session was to reinforce the reality that ITS can manage movement of traffic to meet environmental goals that we all share and combat the misunderstanding that ITS drives an increas

Wireless Technology will launch the latest model of its high definition H.264 HD30 Sidewinder traffic surveillance camera next quarter--touting new features that improve visibility and weatherproofing at ITS America San Jose. According to Lester Miyasaki, national sales manager for the company, the new Sidewinder will include 30X optical zoom, wide dynamic range to minimise glare and shadows, electric conductive ITO window to improve clarity in foggy conditions and a hydrophilic silicon window that break

Savari’s V2X communication technology won a Best of ITS Award in the “Wheels & Things” category at ITS America San Jose as the company unveiled its latest generation of V2X equipment on Monday. Delegates wanting to know what the latest V2X can do for road safety should visit the Savari booth and book a ride in its demonstration vehicle. Savari's V2X technology comes in three separate units: MobiWave onboard units (OBUs), StreetWave roadside units (RSUs) and V2X middleware – in fact just about all the missin

Genetec is at San Jose, highlighting a deployment with Quebec City Jean- Lesage International Airport. The airport deployed Genetec Security Center in 2008 as part of a major expansion to accommodate an increase in regional and international flights. Today, Security Center helps the airport's operators manage more 230 Axis and Panasonic cameras, 60 perimeter gates and hundreds of doors with HID Global card credentials, biometric iris-scans and fingerprint technologies. They also must track more than 2,000 c

The message on the TrafficVision stand is: ‘We can make your cameras smart and turn your existing equipment into sensors’. The company’s video analytic software can work with the video stream from any type of camera to provide incident detection for slowed and stopped vehicles, debris or pedestrians in the roadway and wrong-way drivers. In free flowing traffic the system can determine vehicle counts, classification and speed as well as lane occupancy across up to 14 lanes. Automatic recalibration mean

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is showing conference attendees how its Smart Stop technology can tell bus drivers that someone is waiting at a particular stop, improving the rider experience while saving fuel costs. The Smart Stop demonstration is designed to highlight Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) solutions using dedicated short range 5.9 GHz Wi-Fi communications. It was built in partnership with Renesas Electronics America, a semiconductor supplier, a

Vaisala’s chief scientific officer, Dr Kevin Petty, is a man on a mission. He is here at ITS America 2016 San Jose to tell exhibitors, speakers and delegates that they must make provisions for the effects of weather on transportation. “In the US, there are 5,000 fatalities on the road each year due to weather-related factors,” he said, adding: “If weather conditions are not taken into account, the full benefits of connected and autonomous vehicles will not be realised.” He is excited by the prospect o

CohuHD is demonstrating the new Rise series ruggedised dome positioning system at ITS America 2016. CohuHD Rise (Ruggedised Innovation with Superior Endurance) 4220HD dome camera positioning system combines HD image quality, bandwidth efficient H.264 compression and advanced traffic analytics that counts, classifies and provides speed of vehicles.

Spectra is the latest version of BlueToad, TraffiCast’s Bluetooth detection technology, which can detect Bluetooth signals even when they are in a non-discoverable state – a move that can boost downstream matches by almost a factor of three. Once devices are paired – typically a mobile phone pairing with an in-car system such as a hands-free device, the Bluetooth signal is no longer discoverable by external devices – except by Spectra that is.

Econolite is offering a solution for cities wanting bicycle detection in all lanes of traffic to allow differentiated signal timing. In fact the company is offering a free upgrade to users of Autoscope video detection system running in parallel with the Cobalt ATC controller, to achieve that very result. The Cyclescope software is optimised for bicycle detection and when it detects a bicycle stopped at the intersection stop line, the upgraded system initiates a Bike Min-Green operation. This extends the

Kistler said it has obtained the OIML R-134 certificate for its Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system, making it the first WIM manufacturer to have received the certification for vehicle weighing with strip sensors from 3 to 65 km/h. Since OIML R-134 is the international metrology standard for legal weighing applications, the certificate paves the way for the use of Kistler WIM systems – consisting of Lineas quartz WIM sensors and the Kistler WIM Data Logger – in applications such as weight-based toll collection
