The FLEX detector is a self-contained, stand-alone detector designed for traffic data collection, that requires no power and no side road cabinets. Based on advanced AI algorithms and models, provides exceptional performance and 99% accuracy. Data is sent to cloud based servers through a built-in LTE modem, and can be…

Can we use dynamic policies to benefit certain road users? Is it possible to balance the conflicting needs of different groups and the wider public?

Radar detection solves traffic headache at a major roundabout” – A look into how the largest roundabout in Plymouth overcame detection issues with smartmicro above ground sensors.

SRL’s innovative REMOS system offers centralised monitoring and control, significantly reducing the need for site operatives. This approach allows skilled operators to oversee multiple sites simultaneously, enhancing safety, lowering labour costs, and mitigating queuing traffic. By enabling the rapid identification and resolution of congestion, REMOS ensures smoother traffic flow and…

The selected software technology under CHARM provides the level of integration, scalability, and resiliency desired by NH to manage critical road networks more effectively and safely. Additionally, CHARM…

The paper underscores the importance of integrating future technologies, data, and active travel planning to enhance transport networks and promote sustainable modes. It emphasises the need for a holistic approach, utilising open data and enhancing data integrity to inform decision-making and encourage a shift towards sustainable travel choices. The case…

WINNER : Most Thought Provoking Paper. On-line consumer services from Deliveroo, alternatives to Taxis from Uber, optimised route navigation by Waze, hoards of Amazon deliveries, all of these have altered the numbers and types of traffic on our road network and affected our ability to move people and goods around.…

Almost every vehicle carries a mobile phone, (not forgetting eCall) the whereabouts of which is known to the service provider. We can buy in that data to learn about traffic movements anywhere. No need for loops, CCTV, or manual counting. At busy times there is a theoretical and demonstrable mathematical…

All-red pedestrian stages are usually modelled based on an assumption – such as appearing every cycle or every other cycle. A more sophisticated approach is required to provide more accurate modelling. This paper will outline how an assumed uniform pedestrian distribution can be used to predict the appearance frequency of…
