Iteris has reported total revenues of US18.1 million for its fiscal first quarter 2015, up six per cent over the same quarter a year ago. This was primarily driven by a 20 per cent increase in roadway sensors. iPerform revenues were also up 15 per cent, while transportation systems revenues were down seven per cent, but added US$10.1 million in new contracts The increase in roadway sensors revenues was largely attributable to the success of various growth initiatives, including increases in the distribut

A new weigh-in-motion weighbridge is being installed on State Highway 1 at the Rakaia Bridge to support the introduction of high productivity motor vehicles (HPMV) on this key South Island, New Zealand, freight route. The HPMV system allows vehicles carrying a divisible load of essential goods to weigh more than the official 44 metric tonnes without a permit, but only on specified routes.

Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) is to conduct a six month trial of over-height vehicle sensors along a stretch of Upper Bukit Timah Road in a bid to prevent drivers hitting overhead road structures with a 4.5m clearance. If the pilot is successful it may be extended to more locations. When the system senses an approaching over-height vehicle, it will display a visual warning to alert the driver that his vehicle may hit the structure. Since 2010, there have been 24 incidents involving over-h

The Leddar One sensing module from Canadian LED-based detection technology supplier, LeddarTech, is a more compact (50mm diameter) and low-cost alternative that the company claims brings valuable sensing intelligence to a whole new range of finished products. Its focused, conic beam is said to offer excellent overall range and performance, adaptability, easy integration, low power consumption and high accuracy. The single-element sensing module is particularly suitable for applications such as level sens

Two projects recently implemented by Middle East-based Traffic Tech Group have scooped the Most Innovative ITS Implementation Award at the ITS and Road Safety Awards 2014 at the ITS and Road Safety Forum. The projects, for the Duhail over-height vehicle detection system (OVDS) and the Doha emergency vehicle pre-emption system (EVPS) in Qatar, were awarded to Traffic Tech in 2013. Both were fast tracked and completed in record time, becoming fully operational in early 2014. The Duhail OVDS incorporates

Image Sensing Systems (ISS) has announced an integration and partnership agreement with licence plate recognition (LPR) and parking solutions provider, which will leverage ISS’ licence plate recognition technology and NuPark’s customer focused LPR parking technology platform. The companies claim the combination of NuPark’s robust modern platform and ISS’ state of the art recognition engine and cameras will provide parking professionals with an innovative system that creates operational efficiency, improv
