Malaysia High‑Precision Presence Detection Radar Application Case
Project Background
An urban traffic upgrade project in a Malaysian city faced challenges with outdated buried loop detectors, which were prone to damage, costly to repair, and unable to support modern adaptive signal control. The local transport authority sought a more reliable, intelligent, and easy‑to‑deploy sensing solution to replace the legacy detection infrastructure.
Our Solution
We provided radar‑vision fusion microwave detectors featuring advanced millimeter‑wave radar and high‑definition video fusion technology. The devices are mounted on dedicated poles, eliminating the need for road excavation and minimizing installation disruption.
Key capabilities include:
-
Vehicle presence detection – Accurate, real‑time detection at stop lines and approach zones.
-
Traffic counting – Reliable per‑lane volume statistics.
-
License plate recognition – Simultaneous capture of plate information for vehicle identification.
-
ETA calculation – Estimated time of arrival derived from plate recognition data to support advanced signal coordination.
The detectors seamlessly interface with the local traffic management and control system, delivering real‑time, precise data for signal timing optimization and dynamic coordination.
Project Outcomes
The deployment has effectively addressed the pain points of buried loops:
-
Eliminated road excavation – No cutting or trenching required, reducing installation time and traffic disruption.
-
Reduced maintenance burden – Radar‑video detectors have no moving parts and are not subject to road wear, significantly lowering long‑term maintenance costs.
-
Enhanced data quality – Real‑time, accurate presence and count data enable more responsive and efficient signal control.
Core Value
-
All‑weather high‑precision sensing – Radar‑video fusion ensures reliable detection in all lighting and weather conditions.
-
Non‑intrusive lightweight deployment – Pole‑mounted, no excavation, minimal traffic impact.
-
Seamless system integration – Compatible with existing traffic management and control platforms.
-
Reduced operational costs – Long device life, minimal maintenance, lower total cost of ownership.
-
Improved intersection efficiency – Accurate presence data empowers adaptive signal timing and dynamic coordination.
This project demonstrates how a lightweight, intelligent sensing solution can effectively replace legacy detection infrastructure, improving traffic management efficiency and quality in urban environments.
