707 Clearview Traffic Group has announced the 150th installation of the 3937 Golden River M100 wireless vehicle detection system within the UK. This milestone also marks an installed base of over 1,500 M100 sensors and 300 M110 Access Points in the two years since its launch. As the company points out, together these elements of the Golden River solution challenge the traditional model of inductive loop based traffic signal control and deliver significant cost benefits to road authorities by reducing both the initial capital outlay and the total cost of ownership throughout the lifetime of the solution.

“Five years ago, it would have been practically unthinkable to depose loop-base technology, so to reach this landmark is testament to the hard work of our team and the work they have done to deliver lasting trusting relationships with our customers,” says Nick Lanigan, managing director of Clearview Traffic Group.

The M100 wireless magnetometer range together with the M120 contact closure card is currently the only fully type approved wireless magnetometer vehicle detection solution approved to the UK 2309 Highways Agency standard TR2512A for below ground vehicle detectors covering traffic signal control applications.

Looking to the future, Clearview Traffic says it will continue to grow the traffic signals market whilst actively working to develop additional solutions for magnetometer-based detection technology, including motorway incident detection and automatic signalling (MIDAS), ramp metering and bicycle counting.
