The TRACKSS project will investigate and advance a number of in-vehcile and infrastructure sensing technologies. The figure below illustrates these:

 

Remote Sensing: Optimisation of the operational use of airborne systems for different application scenario using traditional airborne platforms: helicopter, Zeppelin, aircraft.

Smart CCTV: Smart video camera sensor dedicated to bus tracking, aimed at the optimisation of traffic management and service provision.

Laser Scanner: Development of advanced laser scanning for speed and vehicle recognition. This will be supported with software and data models.

Smart Dust: Investigation and development of applications of Smart Dust in transport, together with the development and implementation of proof of concept trials.

Pedestrian Detection: Detection and trigger systems for pedestrian avoidance or damage limitation.

Ice Detection: Technology advances aimed at a cost reduction, miniaturisation and performance improvement of the existing systems by the introduction of Micro Shutter/Micro Mirror linear array.

HDHR/CMOS Camera: the design of a High-Dynamic High- Resolution CMOS Video Camera with sub-windowing technique. The camera will allow different applications to select only those regions of the image which are relevant for its functionalities.

Advanced Vehicle ID: Design an infrared emitter and sensor system to identify a vehicle in the driving lane and localize the signal with reference to passive perception sensors.

Super Loops: Induction loops to detect and analyse passing vehicle signals. Development of data capture, processing algorithms and classification of signal spikes.
