Collaborative Detection Changes The Way We Enhance Signs
Why Detection?
Until recently, enhancing a sign involved flashing said sign 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This method was a holdover from when “beacons” ruled the landscape
TraffiCalm, among others, introduced the concept of improving the application with radar activation. But to keep costs low and coverage high, the radars used would detect non-vehicle movements. In many applications that is just an acceptable risk
The result of radar detection is improved attention grabbing signage that only activates as a driver approaches, which makes it all the more noticeable. However, we can do better…
Introducing Collaborative Detection
Many scenarios cannot suffer false positives- engineer speak for real detections but not of actual vehicles
This is often the result of movements from small objects like oscillating fans, leaves blowing, and kids on scooters
To dramatically reduce the instance of these errors, additional detectors placed at discrete angles can produce amazing clarity
Radar detection can produce thousands of data points per minute, all this information is funneled through an intelligent controller equipped to discern a real event
The result is enhanced signs that truly only flash when a set of parameters are met
Yes, the kids on scooters will be disappointed. But more importantly, the wrong way driver entering the highway will be turned around, to the tune of 85% of the time!
