The Traffic Group demonstrated a revolutionary intelligent detection technology at the ITS World Congress in Atlanta, with AGD Systems NEMA-approved AGD650 detector, which uses edge-based AI to provide high accuracy traffic monitoring, and Oxford RF transforming automotive perception with groundbreaking multiradar traffic detector that offer complete 360-degree coverage with a single fewer units compared to conventional designs to eliminate blind spots and increase safety through high-level multidimensional detection capabilities.
AGD Systems unveils NEMA-approved detector
Highways News reports on the most recent improvements in intelligent detection that AGD Systems demonstrated at the ITS World Congress. The AGD650 harness, developed by NEMA, uses edge-based AI to provide a high-accuracy detection and excellent traffic management performance in a broad application spectrum and is gaining approval in the North American market.
In highways and multilane applications AGD offers the AGD343 highways radar, which has been seen to be a successful solution to successful monitoring and enforcement applications. The Traffic Group will showcase in the congress, featuring two of its most successful companies, AGD Systems and MAV Systems on the UK and ERTICO ITS-Europe Pavilion.
MAV Systems unveils ground-breaking AiQ ANPR camera
In conjunction with AGD, MAV Systems also introduced its new AiQ ANPR camera, a new generation in automatic number/licence plate recognition system that has the ability to read plates of various countries. AiQ is designed to be used internationally; therefore, it also brings in the conversation of ghost plate detection which is accurate and dependable even in the most demanding settings.
Oxford RF transforms automotive perception with 360-degree radar coverage
According to Traffic Technology Today, UK-based award-winning start-up Oxford RF is dealing with perception issues with a new generation of radar systems that are destined to reinvent the possibilities of perception in the automotive industry. Through expanded coverage, high-resolution imaging, and resilience under all operational conditions, radar systems supplied by Oxford RF can increase the awareness of vehicles and contribute to greater safety at a lower price than multi-sensor arrays.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Oxford RF radar technology is the fact that, unlike the default sensor arrangements, the radar technology can provide complete 360-degree coverage using fewer units. Conventional automotive radar has a horizontal field of view of less than 180 degrees, so it requires as many as eight radar systems installed at corners and sides of vehicles to achieve overlap in fields of view.
Revolutionary 6D data capability provides unprecedented object detection accuracy
The single solid-state radar units of Oxford RF have up to a 360-degree horizontal field of view, with a radar device on every side of the vehicle to enable the radar to detect the entire vehicle with just 4 radar units in total. The smaller the area covered per radar unit and the finer the detail, the fewer radar units are required per vehicle, which reduces the cost of hardware in a single unit and eases integration and maintenance.
High-tech multidimensional detection removes the conventional blind spot restriction
The broad area of coverage is a key safety-sensitive advantage of the wider field of view, where one single radar system covers nearly every location around the vehicle. In the case of a radar reflective object, one radar receiver can deliver relative distance in time of flight and frequency modulation, as well as relative velocity through a calculation of Doppler shift.
The introduction of innovative multiradar technology that detects traffic at the ITS World Congress is an important step towards intelligent transportation systems and AGD Systems AI-driven detectors, and Oxford RF’s revolutionary 360-degree radar coverage eliminates blind spots at a fraction of the cost and complexity, making these innovations a key enabler of safer implementation of autonomous vehicles and more intelligent traffic management.
