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.

Efficient traffic light control systems are dependent on knowing where vehicles are and where traffic is building on the roads leading up to them. This intelligence relies on vehicle detection data, which can come from inductive loops or magnetometer sensors. The method of vehicle detection makes no difference to the signal control, but can make a big difference to the success of the scheme and the disruption to both road users and residents. Recent Clearview installations highlight the variety or reasons why we recommend wireless vehicle detection using magnetometers.

Ask any road user about the state of the road network in the UK and we’re confident you’ll get an answer lamenting the condition of the roads. You’re also likely to get a comment on the frustration caused by endless roadworks. So, road users want a well-maintained network, but don’t want the roadworks that come with this. What are road operators to do?

As the use of MIDAS systems has been expanded over the last twenty years it’s not surprising that alternative vehicle detection technologies have been explored to overcome issues with inductive loops. We consider the two most commonly used alternatives approved to Highways England specification MCH1529 for use in MIDAS systems: magnetometer and microwave/radar-based detection.

No one should be harmed when travelling or working on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). This is one of Highways England’s three core aims. We’ve discussed at length the ways that Clearview are helping to keep road users safe, but what about road workers?

The title of this week’s blog comes from a Chinese proverb and aligns to our approach in running training programs that help design teams and engineers fully understand our wireless detection products and how to install them.

Keeping traffic flowing across UK roads requires both good infrastructure and detailed information. No matter what type of road, from motorways to urban, or type of operator, from Highways England (HE) to local authorities, all need accurate and reliable information.

A new INRIX report was released last week that analysed and ranked the impact of traffic congestion worldwide in 2017. The report ranked the UK in the top ten of most congested countries and in the top three in Europe, beaten only by Russia and Turkey. 111 cities and towns in the UK were analysed and perhaps unsurprisingly London, Manchester and Birmingham lead the way in terms of the most hours drivers spend in congestion.

The UK is the third most congested country in Europe and we spend an average of 32 hours each year stuck in peak hour traffic. Making better decisions and informed judgements on the road network is something that Clearview can help with. Our traffic flow monitoring technology gathers accurate, real-time intelligence about traffic volume, type, speed, directional flow, and driver behaviour patterns.
