Leading radar manufacturer AGD systems is promising an even safer pedestrian experience having enhanced its industry-leading on-crossing 326-model detector.

It says the upgrade improves range and gives more precise coverage of crossings, with a unique kite-shaped detection zone eliminating black spots. Its range is now 24 metres, which the company says makes it ideal for use on wider crossings spanning multiple lanes.

Technical Director, Doug Nelson, explained, “AGD Systems is committed to continually improving our products to provide safer, greener and more efficient solutions for our customers and road users.

“The enhancement to the 326 radar supersedes the current model giving more accurate detection on crossings, increasing safety and expanding its applications in international markets.

“The AGD Pedestrian Detection systems, including the 326 model, are purpose-designed to provide the very highest safety for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, and the ultimate ease for local and city authorities.

“AGD 326 offers everything you’d expect from our recognised leading-edge technology and more; on-crossing and wait-area detection platforms mean pedestrians are tracked accurately in real time, ensuring the safest of journeys.”

The company adds that its exclusive AGD Touch Set-up wifi user interface has been enhanced to ensure it is even more intuitive and can be easily accessed using a mobile or tablet, with pedestrian crossing visualisation ensuring correct zone setup according to the individual road or crossing layout.
