AGD is delighted to showcase its updated AGD650 AI Multi Modal Detector, setting a new standard for intelligent traffic management.

With advanced tracking capabilities for buses now fully integrated and trials underway to extend functionality to bicycles and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), the AGD650 is positioned as a game-changer in modern traffic detection.

Originally designed for stop-line detection, the AGD650 has evolved to support a wide range of critical traffic management applications. These include optimising urban traffic flow with Split Cycle Offset Optimisation Technique (SCOOT), enhancing junction safety through all-red signal phases and providing precise vehicle detection to manage turn-specific signal control.

The detector’s capabilities also extend to monitoring exit blocking to prevent bottlenecks and prioritising public transport with bus lane detection, making it an invaluable tool for improving efficiency and safety on increasingly busy roads.

The updated AGD650 retains its state-of-the-art optical technology, ensuring the same level of accuracy and reliability that traffic managers trust while delivering new functionality to meet evolving urban transport challenges. The addition of bus detection and the ongoing trials for cyclists and HGVs reflect AGD’s commitment to building inclusive, sustainable and forward-thinking traffic solutions.

Kieran Corbally, Senior Commercial Manager at AGD, emphasised the significance of this update:

“The enhanced AGD650 represents an important leap forward in traffic management technology. By expanding its capabilities to include applications such as bus lane prioritisation and SCOOT, we are empowering cities with the tools they need to tackle modern traffic challenges head-on. The trials for cyclists and HGVs further demonstrate our dedication to delivering comprehensive solutions for all road users.”
