Model ClearWay -Highways Safety System
When you need a highway safety system that works in all weather conditions, ClearWay is the best technology available. Navtech’s Intelligent Transport System will find a stopped vehicle or wrong-way driver in seconds so operators can get assistance to road users faster. It works when you need it most: in poor visibility when accidents are more likely to happen.
The same system can provide other actionable data to deliver further improvements, such as vehicle count and classification, automatic incident detection, and debris detection, to name a few – with the ultimate outcome of advancing safety and improving journeys for everyone.
Highways
Navtech’s ITS technology is deployed on highways from Sweden to Australia, New Zealand and America. Field-proven to be effective over large national schemes covering 200+ miles, with high detection and low false alarm rates, ClearWay delivers a level of operational performance that makes any road significantly safer and more efficient.
Tunnels
Due to the confined space and artificial environment, tunnel accidents are always serious and can often create secondary incidents. ClearWay minimises the potential for secondary impacts after an initial incident is identified, as the system automatically detects and reports stopped vehicles, pedestrians and debris in seconds. The Situational Awareness module within ClearWay provides the exact position of vehicles and pedestrians in the tunnel, even in smoke and fire conditions, when you need it most. Real-time updates enable operators and fire services to make life-saving decisions quickly.
Bridges
Often, the lack of physical barriers to prevent a pedestrian entering a vehicle lane on a bridge is of great concern to road authorities. ClearWay monitors the whole length of the bridge acting as an early warning system for any pedestrians that may attempt to enter the restricted zone. It accurately tracks the exact location of the pedestrians and vehicles in real-time and reports this information on an over-head map to operators within seconds, giving them maximum time to take action . Immunity to vibration and operation in all weather and light conditions enable a system with a very low false alarm rate, giving operators confidence.
How Does it Work?
ClearWay is easy to configure through its intuitive user interface. Alarms are rules-based and can be set up on individual incidents occurring, such as a stopped vehicle in a particular lane or zone. There can be multiple rules-based alarms and multiple zones. Operating profiles can be set up and switched, at the click of a mouse, to respond to contraflows or maintenance situations. The ClearWay software is designed and created by our own award winning design team. It can be easily integrated with other systems via a simple API interface.
ClearWay can be configured to work with PTZ Cameras. This provides operators with the radar’s picture on an overhead map, as well as live video-feed of the highway. When an incident is picked up by ClearWay, it automatically guides the cameras nearest the location to focus on the item of interest. Therefore, operators have a better knowledge of what the incident is and what is occurring. By having both an overhead map and real-time video feed, operators can make better decisions on managing the situation as he has a better understanding on what is taking place.
