Introducing BRAUMS SENSE
布劳恩SENSE is the fusion of capability + technology, now delivering modern above ground detection solutions to the Australian traffic management, roads and highway market and beyond. BRAUMS SENSE utilises smartmicro modern above ground detection traffic sensors which are non-intrusive with the road surface.
BRAUMS delivers capability through decades of experience designing, developing and supplying high-quality traffic signal hardware, traffic controllers and accessories.
smartmicro delivers technology with the most recommended radar sensor technology for above ground detection traffic sensors. Over 80 thousand sensors are already deployed globally.
Above ground detection systems and traffic sensors, such as the smartmicro traffic sensor devices, define virtual zones over the road, where previously in-ground inductive loop detectors were embedded in the road surface – such as stop bars at intersections.
Modern traffic sensors are capable of performing multiple roles simultaneously. Most often, replacing several single-purpose old technologies across an intersection or highway. BRAUMS defines each of these roles as ‘capabilities’. BRAUMS SENSE categorises the capabilities to match the most common requirements of road authorities, councils and traffic management systems.
“BRAUMS SENSE is the fusion of capability & technology for modern above ground traffic detection and management. BRAUMS has the experience and strong reputation for delivering smarter, safer and greener solutions for our mobile communities. smartmicro has the experience and reputation for superior sensor technology. Combined, we deliver outstanding solutions for advanced traffic management.”
- Andrew Bull, Founder & Managing Director, BRAUMS Pty Ltd
Detection capabilities are grouped under BRAUMS SENSE Detect
布劳恩SENSE Detect utilises smartmicro traffic sensors for above ground detection of traffic through defined virtual zones over the road, where previously in-ground inductive loop detectors were embedded in the road surface – such as stop bars at intersections.
One single smartmicro traffic sensor offers up to 32 detection zones and can, for example, replace up to 32 loops. Additionally, the detection zones covered with our sensors are configured on position, size and function.
Compared to in-ground systems, above-ground detection technology is easy to install on existing infrastructure. This means not only are modern above ground traffic sensors a lot more cost-efficient, smartmicro traffic sensors can also be easily reconfigured or adjusted in their position supporting on-site changes – such as adding a new bike lane.
布劳恩SENSE Detect currently supports several capabilities, including:
- Stop bar detection
- Queue length
- Light phase extension
- Speed triggering
- Pedestrian & Bicycle detection
Counting and classification capabilities are grouped under BRAUMS SENSE Count
布劳恩SENSE Count utilises smartmicro traffic sensor technology. Unlike older side firing sensors, modern smartmicro traffic sensors use multiple forward firing beams which means vehicles remain inside the field of view for much longer, their position and speed vectors are measured with higher accuracy, and better classification is achieved. BRAUMS SENSE Count, with smartmicro traffic sensors, delivers speed, volume and occupancy (SVO) data for highway counting and classification of multiple vehicle classes, including pedestrians, bikes, motorcycles, passenger cars, transporters, trucks or buses and long trucks.
Road authorities, councils and traffic management systems benefit from the SVO, count and classification real-time or historical data to make informed decisions.
Our sensors feature the most advanced multi-lane and multi-object tracking. They achieve highest detection performance, excellent counting accuracy and classification of moving and stopped traffic – no matter if the road is straight or curved.
Radar is the most robust sensing technology and is not affected by dirt, smog, sunlight, wind or sandstorms. Heavy rain and snow may only have a minor impact on the performance of the units.
布劳恩SENSE Count currently supports several capabilities, including:
- Traffic counting
- Traffic classification
- Multiple classes
- Data analytics
Traffic management data, analytics and insights are grouped under BRAUMS SENSE Insight
Additional BRAUMS SENSE capabilities will be rolled out over the coming months, including BRAUMS SENSE Insight, delivering data, analytics and insights into your traffic management.
Ongoing development, coupled with realisation of the power of this sophisticated technology, will continue to see new use cases and benefits being discovered as the devices are deployed globally. So far, we’ve only scratched the surface of what can be achieved with BRAUMS SENSE.
布劳恩SENSE is the very definition of Smart Traffic & Intersection Management (STIM).
布劳恩SENSE and R2X
布劳恩SENSE builds on the pre-release announcement ofBRAUMS R2X last month.
BRAUMS R2X links modern above ground detection solutions and sensors to existing traffic controllers where previously in-ground inductive loop detectors were used to detect vehicle presence.
The BRAUMS R2X device negates upgrading the traffic controller or modifying the traffic controller software (personality) in compliant controllers, generally required by other interface solutions and products.
BRAUMS R2X emulates in-ground inductive loops utilised at intersections and embedded in roads and highways for a multitude of detection and measurement applications. As the interface between the smartmicro traffic sensor and the traffic controller, the BRAUMS R2X device receives detection data from the traffic sensor of vehicle presence in a virtual zone, transforms the information into a change in inductance, which is then measured by the traffic controller’s vehicle detector card. In simple terms, BRAUMS R2X passes smartmicro radar presence detection information seamlessly to compliant controllers.
- BRAUMS R2X is expandable, providing support for up to 4 loop detector cards, managing and replacing up to 64 in-ground inductive loops.
- The BRAUMS R2X device features a full TCPIP stack to enable it to also act as a device server, allowing data routing over WAN, and remote configuration of the traffic sensors.
- BRAUMS R2X also features configurable relays, supporting traffic light phase extension, speed triggering, and other capabilities.
- BRAUMS R2X is the first of a range of innovations planned for release in 2022.
- BRAUMS R2X is scheduled for release in Q1 2022 in both Australian and International markets.
