When comparing Clearview’s Wireless Vehicle Detection System to inductive loops one of the key benefits is the speed and ease of installation. Installing an M100 Sensor is quick and easy. The sensor can be installed, the resin cured, and the carriageway reopened all in 15 minutes. Read on to understand the wider benefits of this easy installation and see for yourself how to install an M100 Sensor in our demonstration video.

The inductive loop has become so integral to the management of traffic signals that many of us working in the highways industry may simply assume it’s the right solution to provide the vehicle detection needed for the traffic signal control systems VA, MOVA and SCOOT. Yet, having been introduced in the early 1960s technology has moved on and alternatives have been developed that provide options for a traffic signal engineer.

You can gather journey time data from Bluetooth detectors, ANPR cameras, or it can be crowdsourced. Bluetooth detectors register a MAC address as a driver or passenger with a mobile phone passes a detector; ANPR cameras monitor licence plates; and crowdsourced data is generated by analysing the GPS locations transmitted by mobile phone and satellite navigation systems. The latter is our preferred method of generating journey time data, but why do you need journey time data and what can you use it for?

Early adopters take the risks of new ideas but see that as a necessary way of keeping ahead of competitors or the marketplace, and they know that where they lead others will soon follow. They also understand that by being ahead of the industry there may be bumps in the road along the adoption cycle as new technology beds in. Every product that involves technology will have unforeseen bugs that need ironing out; even Apple and Samsung sometimes find that being at the cutting edge of their industries comes with some complications. So, when technology comes along that is a disrupter to established ideas scrutiny can be harsh and sometimes even attract defensive and judgmental commentary.

Knowing who and what are using the UK’s roads has never been more important. As the world moves towards an autonomous future it’s important to note that we are not starting from scratch in being able to gather the data on how our roads are being utilised, be they strategic, trunk or urban.

Regular readers of our blog will be aware of the many benefits of wireless vehicle detection; compared to inductive loops the sensors are much quicker to install, the system negates the need for costly ducting and trenching and keeps the road surface more durable. With the Clearview system now coming with an improved five-year warranty package we thought it would be good to explain how the constituent parts of the system work together and how to configure it for various applications.

The annual JCT Symposium is the largest forum for signal engineers, bringing together traffic signal practitioners and manufacturers to foster relationships and drive innovation in signal engineering. A regular highlight in our event’s calendar, last week’s event did not disappoint. We were in attendance to discuss our wireless vehicle detection solution and share the news that we’ve extended the warranty on the entire system from two to five years. The system is expected to last ten years to match the longevity of the road surface while requiring only very little or no maintenance. Recent improvements to the components of the solution have further minimised the maintenance requirements.

Highways England presentations at various recent transport industry events have repeatedly referred to the organisation’s three overarching imperatives: improving service to customers; making roads safer; and delivering the Road Investment Strategy.The development of collaborative relationships with the supply chain has been identified as one of the key enablers which will allow Highways England to successfully attain these goals. So, what do these three imperatives really mean, and how is the supply chain innovating and collaborating to proactively support Highways England to achieve these objectives?
