Gathering data on the go

摘要

The trial in April was carried out jointly by Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technology supplier MVIS and data sharing firm Chordant, with the support of Coventry City Council. It involved the use of MVIS' VMS-A unit, with integrated data collection radar, and Chordant's cloud-based oneTRANSPORT Data Marketplace. The radar-enabled portable VMS was deployed on a 30mph single lane road in Coventry, approximately 50 metres from the signal junction, recording the date, time and speed of each vehicle passing. It displayed a COVID-19 related safety message to drivers, bringing additional value to the project. The location of the unit was chosen to best provide a comparison of data collection from SCOOT data consolidated in oneTRANSPORT.
