The first radar of the TMA family will be followed by many more siblings

Following the strong success of its intersection radars, Icoms Detections has launched the TMA-122 radar in the UK market after receiving the TOPAS (Traffic Open Products and Specifications) approval. This new radar is the successor of the ITVP-2 including new features such as counting and self-monitoring to offer more functionalities for better mobility.

The TOPAS certification follows the CE and FCC certifications recently achieved for this next-generation radar catered to the needs of traffic management authorities. “This TOPAS approval shows how the TMA-122 microwave detector answers the needs of the UK market”, says Chris Webb, Managing Director of C&T Technology, the exclusive distributor of the sensor in the United Kingdom.

With its ability to emulate inductive loops up to a distance of 60 meters plus an integral stopline zone, the TMA-122 is a non-intrusive sensor that provides a viable alternative to other below and above ground detection systems. The TMA-122 can be quickly installed and commissioned, reducing construction and traffic management costs and risks.

“Adapting the TMA-122 to meet the requirements of the TOPAS specifications shows Icoms’ commitment to the UK market. We are excited to bring a radar solution to the UK that will offer authorities a superior tool for monitoring traffic and enhancing mobility.”, according to Etienne Van den Bogaert, General Manager of Icoms Detections, the manufacturer of the sensor.

The TMA-122 offers multiple advanced features integrated in one device with high reliability. It integrates approach detection, vehicle stoppage detection, vehicle counting and features a self-monitoring function to switch to safe mode in case of a failure. Furthermore, it is non-intrusive and is easy to install without any disturbance to the traffic. This translates into a cost-effective solution that requires a low-touch approach and no heavy planning.
