Stop+Advance Detection: One Sensor instead of dozens of Loops

Modern Intersections benefit from Stop+Advance Detection and become future-ready.

Stop+Advance Detection: One Sensor instead of dozens of Loops

Effective intersection management depends on precise detection at key points like the stop bar and upstream approach. While conventional systems need multiple in-road inductive loops per lane, this approach is costly and inflexible.

With smartmicro radar technology, you cover both stop bar and advance detection zones using just one sensor. Vehicles are reliably detected at the intersection line and as they approach from upstream, enabling advanced signal control, dilemma zone protection, and real-time queue monitoring. All with a single sensor.

Intersection management technology overview

Intersection Management made smarter

Our radar sensors continuously track both stopped and moving vehicles, as well as approaching and receding traffic, across the entire detection area. With coverage for up to 12 lanes, smartmicro delivers precise, lane-by-lane detection, even in the most complex intersection layouts.

Key capabilities include:

  • Stop+Advance detection with one single sensor
  • Replacement of up to 32 loops per sensor
  • Lane-by-lane detection across up to 12 lanes
  • Detection of approaching and receding traffic

Radar supports classification of up to seven object classes, including passenger cars, trucks, pedestrians, and cyclists. This enables both traffic management and vulnerable road user protection within the same detection system.

Performance remains stable regardless of lighting conditions and is not affected by dusk, dawn, or nighttime. Detection is also reliable on both straight and curved roads.

By combining multiple detection zones in a single device, our radar sensors minimize infrastructure needs and ensure seamless, continuous coverage throughout the intersection.
