Econolite and Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) (NASDAQ:ISNS), today
announced the introduction of Autoscope®
Duo™, a first in a new generation of hybrid sensor technologies. Autoscope
Duo converges the robust capabilities of radar and video to provide
the highest detection accuracy in all conditions with the lowest total
cost of ownership.
Autoscope Duo, an all-in-one, high performing detection system
for the transportation industry, represents another industry innovation
from the long-standing Econolite-ISS partnership. “The Econolite-ISS
collaboration on Autoscope Duo is another example of a
joint-effort product breakthrough, addressing and providing
transportation agencies with powerful ITS solutions and a high return on
their investment,” said Mike Doyle, Econolite Group Chief Executive
Officer. “Focusing on helping agencies reduce traffic congestion while
increasing safety and mobility is Autoscope Duo’s number one
target.”
Autoscope Duo has been field-tested for nearly a year and has
proven to be a superior alternative to in-ground detection systems.
Integrating radar and video detection algorithms expands the benefits of
non-intrusive detection, and ensures years of low maintenance when
compared to the expense of installing and maintaining inductive loop
detectors. Autoscope Duo also represents a gateway to employing
new Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) programs.
“Duo is introduced with a background that includes years of
innovative development driven by the voice of our customers. To address
the concerns of transportation agencies, we converge radar and video
computer enabled detection to provide the highest levels of accuracy in
all traffic, lighting, weather, and pavement conditions,” said Image
Sensing Systems, Inc. President and CEO Ken Aubrey.
The Autoscope Duo Detection System uses intelligent decision
logic to monitor the current operating conditions and to combine the
best of radar with the best of video data, continuously—lane-by-lane and
second-by-second. These two sensor technologies lead to significant
performance improvements and provide the highest accuracy attainable for
the demands of today’s most advanced intersection control requirements. Duo
orders begin shipping early second quarter 2012.
