Emerging Role of Telematics in Traveler Information & Complementary Services

Adam Game   Chief Executive, Intelematics Pty Ltd

Acoustic detectors use varied technologies. Recent techniques are very different from earlier techniques and detectors using these have new capabilities. Some of the features that are closely related to the different technologies are identified and the mechanisms of active, passive, proximity and phase coherent technologies are examined to show how they yield their particular features. The features of the new generation acoustic detectors now make them candidates for incident detection systems which were previously the domain of loops, radar and video detectors.
