LIVE WEBINAR
Beyond Highway Monitoring:
From Vehicle Detection to Real-Time Traffic Awareness
September 30, 2026
10:00 AM CEST
Highway traffic conditions can change within seconds. A stopped vehicle, sudden speed reduction, lane closure, work zone, or developing queue can quickly affect multiple lanes and require a timely response.
For traffic operators, detecting vehicles is only part of the picture. Understanding how traffic is moving across lanes, how conditions are changing, and where potential incidents are developing provides the information needed for effective traffic management.
In this webinar, Robin Collaert, Director Business Solutions at smartmicro, and Charlie Eccleson, Head of Sales and Technical Solutions at smartmicro UK, will explore how continuous radar tracking provides real-time information about individual vehicles and the wider traffic situation – from precise speed and position data to lane-specific traffic information and developing traffic events.

Topics Covered
In this session, we will explore how continuous vehicle tracking, precise speed data, and lane-specific information can provide a clearer picture of changing highway traffic conditions. We will look at how this information can support earlier incident awareness, help identify developing congestion and sudden speed changes, and enable more responsive traffic management.
The Limits of Point-Based Detection
The webinar will examine why information from fixed detection points may not be sufficient for understanding developing congestion, incidents, and other events across wider highway sections.
Continuous Multi-Lane Radar Tracking
Discover how above-ground radar sensors provide long-range detection, precise speed measurement, lane-specific information, and continuous multi-lane vehicle tracking.
Detecting Congestion and Incidents
Learn how data on stopped vehicles, slow traffic, sudden speed reductions, and developing congestion can support traffic management systems, warnings, variable speed limits, and faster operational responses.
Hybrid AI Tracking for Highways
See how visual information can complement radar tracking to improve classification, counting, traffic monitoring, and video recording while retaining radar-based speed and position measurements.
