Wireless Vehicle Detection and Traffic Light Control
Golden River are pleased to announce a new addition to the portfolio. The new UK type approved Wireless Vehicle Detection system removes the requirement for traditional inductive loops.
The Golden River M100 Wireless Vehicle Detection system uses inset mounted in-road magnetometer sensors to detect the presence and movement of vehicles.
The system provides a reliable, lower cost and easier to install alternative to traditional inductive loops. It is traffic controller manufacturer independent and suitable for all Urban Traffic Control systems including System D, MOVA, and SCOOT
Golden River are the UK Technology Partner / Distributor for this product with Sensys Networks Inc.
Cost effective vehicle detection system
The M100 magnetometer flush in-road inset mounted sensors wirelessly transmit their detection data in real time via low power secure radio technology to a nearby M110 Access Point which is fed in to one or more local or remote traffic management controllers or systems using the M120 interface card. For larger more complex junctions or where greater distances are involved the Access Point may be supplemented by a M115 Repeater Unit.
A wireless alternative to traditional inductive loops
Low life cycle costs, reduced installation costs, accuracy, durability and reliability makes the Golden River wireless vehicle detection system a versatile and beneficial alternative to traditional inductive loop based systems for traffic signal control. Like inductive loops, the M100 wireless sensors can be located exactly where measurements are required, whether it is at a specific through lane, turn lanes or entrance and exit ramps.
Each small sized M100 sensor is typically installed in the middle of a traffic lane where it will detect the presence and passage of vehicles in that lane. To measure vehicle speeds two sensors are located in the same lane with the distance between them measured and configured in the software during the installation. Two or more sensors can be used and configured to replicate extended loops if required eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming slot cutting and trenching/ducting.
