As road operators strive to combat congestion and maintain safety within ever-tighter budgets,
ingenuity and technology can combine to make good ideas a reality. For example, turning
shoulder into a running lane at peak times offers the opportunity to reduce congestion at
lower cost than adding an extra lane, even assuming there is the land space to build one.
Idris Technology has developed an
incident detection system which tracks vehicles on a multi-lane road and alerts traffic
managers in the event of a stopped vehicle or exceptional incident. This is done entirely
loops below the road surface, avoiding the need for any overhead furniture. Trials have
shown the effectiveness of this solution in all traffic conditions and weather scenarios.
