Blog Entry: www.itsinternational.com/news/article.cfm?recordID=14014 Wednesday 8 October 2008 Caltrans to deploy over 5,100 Sensys networks wireless vehicle detection systems Sensys Networks has announced a major deployment of the Sensys Wireless Vehicle Detection Systems by Caltrans covering over 1,000 lane-miles in 3 districts. Over 5,100 of the wireless sensors will be installed throughout the state in over 800 detection stations on California interstates. Caltrans manages over 45,000 lane miles of roadways including highly congested corridors near major metropolitan areas. The Vehicle Detection System provides Caltrans the accurate vehicle data the agency needs to monitor and manage traffic flow on these freeways. Caltrans selected the Sensys Networks wireless technology over traditional inductive loop technology because of the ease of installation including minimal lane closure time, as well as the low level maintenance and calibration that are required with other technologies. ”We are excited to be chosen by Caltrans and look forward to helping them reduce congestion around the state. These installations will help increase mobility on California freeways and take steps toward improving the air quality in metropolitan areas,” said Amine Haoui, CEO of Sensys Networks.
