Tilting sensed Rugged inclinometers and tilt sensors are offered by Axiomatic, which has a series of new low cost units that can measure ±90º degrees or 360 degrees angular rotation. The angles are measured by a two-axis MEMS sensor, which senses acceleration caused by gravity. In a tilt sensor application, an out-of-range state can be transmitted as one of its outputs. The latest AX06025X series features CANopen networking, an RS-232 port or three Voltage outputs for communicating the angular measurement.

The first SAB-Gate supplied by Highway Care to the UK is now in use. The Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald (BBMM) partnership installed the SAB-Gates at two strategic locations along the M4 and M5 highways, with approval from the UK's Highways Agency. The units, which are manufactured in Italy by Snoline, are now in place in the central reservation at Emergency Crossing Points. On a number of sites, BBMM is replacing the existing central reserve steel barrier with concrete step barrier (CSB) and this will requi
