The Toronto-based AI-driven Intelligent Transportation System solutions provider Quarterhill has announced its proprietary, multilane intersection radar “TMB-13X” has achieved TOPAS 2505B registration, a requirement for any traffic signal detection technology deployed in the UK.
This accomplishment enables Quarterhill to provide UK transport authorities with a reliable, easy-to-use and cost-efficient product; enabling safer and more efficient roads with industry-leading deployment times.
Designed for complex, multilane intersections, the TMB-13X provides traffic authorities with an above-ground alternative to traditional inductive loop detection, helping reduce the roadwork, installation costs and traffic disruption associated with in-road sensors. The product can monitor vehicles and cyclists across multiple lanes; and uses up to nine configurable virtual detection loops based on speed, direction of travel, movement and presence. It also features a compact four-meter blind zone and an intuitive browser-based configuration interface accessible via Wi-Fi to enable faster deployment and simpler ongoing maintenance.
“Bringing together more than 30 years of radar-based product development in a solution designed to address the complexities of modern intersections, the TMB-13X reflects our continued focus on technologies that make transportation infrastructure safer and more efficient,” said Donna Bergan, Vice President of Intelligent Transportation Systems at Quarterhill.
“Securing TOPAS registration means we can extend these capabilities to customers across the UK, providing traffic engineers with a flexible solution that can simplify installation and ongoing maintenance, while minimizing disruption to road users.”
The TOPAS registration reflects Quarterhill’s broader approach to international growth: adapting its ITS technologies to meet the specific regulatory and technical standards of each market it enters. Quarterhill’s Smart Transportation and Enforcement solutions are currently deployed across North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
