AGD Systems Ltd (
www.agd-systems.com) has entered into a partnership with Qatar-based Traffic Tech Group to supply its Puffin and Toucan pedestrian detection systems in the Middle East.
The Cheltenham-based company’s radar systems monitor pedestrians on the crossing, only allowing vehicle traffic signals to turn back to green once it is completely clear.
Faris Bakir, head of traffic signal projects at Traffic Tech, said: “On-street trials of AGD’s Puffin and Toucan schemes went very well, and we are delighted that they have been approved by the authorities. This will open the door to using AGD’s systems for existing and new projects in Qatar and — subsequently — the wider Gulf region.
“This global strategic partnership is very important to us. With AGD’s reputation and Traffic Tech’s position as the region’s leading traffic-control provider, we will be a force to be reckoned with in the pedestrian detection arena.”
