AGD, a UK-based traffic detection product designer and manufacturer, is set to launch two new intelligent detection systems at Traffex 2013, from 16-18 April in Birmingham, UK.

The new detection platforms, which are based on a new range of frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) ranging radars, are designed for installation in urban and inter-urban areas.

The 316 FMCW stop-line RadarDetector, which operates in the 24GHz band, has been developed for the detection and monitoring of stationary vehicles at the stop-line of a single lane approach to an intersection.

It tracks approaching vehicles individually with the help of the detection zone, generating a detect state as the vehicles come to a stop.

"The new detection platforms, which are based on a new range of FMCW ranging radars, are designed for installation in urban and inter-urban areas."

The other new model, the 342 Enforcement Radar, also operates in the 24GHz band, and has been designed particularly to measure the speed and range of passing vehicles for the purposes of enforcement in multiple lanes.

Suitable for a variety of national requirements in both fixed and mobile deployment options, this radar can track eight target events in either approach or receding direction at the same time.

The two new radar units can be used for the detection of queues, speed measurement, vehicle occupancy, speed and red-light enforcement, stop-line detection and vehicle count.

These models also feature user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and Bluetooth connectivity, along with wireless and GPRS connectivity options, which provide substantial flexibility in applications ranging from SCOOT and MOVA, lighting control to congestion management via improved traffic information.

All the company’s ranging FMCW vehicle radars are certified by Hyperion and developed by AGD.
