HAZARD DETECTION & WARNING

Vecta represents a major step forward for hazardous object detection and SVD - a truly next-generation detection system built for the challenges of modern traffic management and redefining what’s possible in road safety and efficiency. 
Combining advanced 3D perception, CCTV, and a weather station, Vecta uses point cloud data and intelligent software to automatically detect and alert on hazardous object in the carriageway – enabling a quick response by the relevant parties. The result: Safer roads, reduced journey time, and efficient operations.

Works egress warning via VMS warns motorists approaching a particular traffic management access/exit area that a works vehicle will be re-joining the main carriageway. Positioned around 200 yards prior to the access/exit point, a VMS is linked to a set of sensors, which automatically activate a custom message on the VMS to warn motorists that a slower moving vehicle will be re-joining the carriageway ahead. This innovative solution can be set up in a few minutes and offers an increase in safety and efficiency when managing traffic around site entry and exit points.

On a diversion route with a low bridge, motorists on the route may not be aware of the dangers ahead. Our telescopic height sensors are quick to install and set to just below the height of a bridge. When a high sided vehicle triggers the sensors, our VMS will activate, alerting the offending vehicle to stop or divert to an alternative route.

By itself, a standalone VMS can be configured to display any message of upcoming or current works, delays, or diversions – informing motorists and enabling safer journeys. As part of a connected network or intelligent transport system (ITS), these same VMS units can connect to sensors, CCTV, ANPR and more to provide changing or real-time alerts around speed, queues, works, weather conditions, or other hazards.

Connected to state-of-the-art sensors, CAS warns motorists of potential hazards at intersections or crossroads, but only when vehicles are waiting to cross or join the road – providing a visual warning exactly when needed. This unit is easily mounted to a roadside pole, and can be programmed to respond to vehicles exceeding an upper speed limit, even if there are no vehicles waiting to cross, as well as a lower limit when vehicles are waiting.

Flooded roads are a danger to cars, cyclists, and pedestrians alike, especially if the water is deeper than it appears. Using advanced sensors, a flood warning sign alerts people approaching of the hazard ahead, as well as the approximate depth.
