OptaSense shows off TMS for the first time at ITSA

First published at ITS America - June 5, 2019

OptaSense is exhibiting its Traffic Monitoring Solution (TMS) for the first time at the Annual Meeting.

The company says the product converts roadside fibre-optic cable into a distributed traffic sensor capable of delivering timely and reliable traffic monitoring and incident detection information from the entire monitored road.

It uses distributed fibre-optic sensing (DFOS) technology to convert existing roadside optical-fibre cable into an array of intelligent sensors over long distances.

OptaSense says each roadside installation can cover up to 50 miles and it has a spatial output of 50m updated every second. The OptaSense TMS is already in use with road operators, including the North Dakota DoT, which uses it on the I-29 highway in Fargo.
