Nortech has designed a range of vehicle detectors that can be set up using a smartphone app. This tool can be used to identify the presence of vehicles through an inductive loop buried beneath a road.


The vehicle detectors come with new features and are backed up with a compact diagnostic unit that links to a smartphone app.

This enables quick and easy detector setup and comprehensive loop fault analysis.

Stable and robust, the units offer automatic frequency selection allowing a 7-series detector to automatically select the best frequency setting to minimise noise and maximise signal strength.

A key benefit of the 7-series range is its fast recovery time between one vehicle and the next. The recovery is the time taken by the detector to reset after detection and being ready for the next approaching vehicle. Nortech detectors have a shorter recovery time compared to similar products, which enables them to respond quicker to reduce the possibility of tailgating, loss of revenue and increase the level of security.

    Demand for telematics technology is growing, as equipment users begin to lean the value of these systems – Alan Dron reports With construction projects increasingly operating to wafer-thin profit margins, any technological assistance that can keep the accounts in the black is welcome. This is particularly the case with those projects where contractors can share a larger slice of the profits if they complete their work ahead of schedule. The downside, of course, is that they also share the pain if the

    The efficiency of asphalt compaction performance has improved immeasurably in recent years with the development of more effective equipment. Manufacturers have honed the designs of the machines, making them easier and more comfortable to operate, improving visibility and also tackling issues such as maintenance downtime by making the equipment more reliable and quicker to service. However one of the biggest advances in compaction performance has come not from the machines, but from the control and measur
