Cities around the world are experiencing a profound transformation in mobility. The rapid rise of active modes, increased traffic volumes, and heightened expectations for safety and performance are challenging transport authorities and operators at an unprecedented scale. In this landscape, intelligent detection technologies have become a strategic cornerstone for efficient traffic management and sustainable mobility planning.
For nearly three decades, EVA Systèmes has served as the exclusive distributor of AGD Systems detection solutions in France. Leveraging its strong technical expertise and long-standing market presence, EVA Systèmes supports authorities, integrators, and end-users with reliable and robust traffic engineering solutions aligned with evolving mobility needs. Among these technologies, the AGD650 has emerged as a flagship response to today’s mobility challenges.
Challenge
French cities, like many globally, are experiencing a rapid increase in active travel such as cycling, and walking. At the same time, expectations for traffic optimisation and network performance continue to grow, putting new pressure on urban traffic systems. Public transport networks also require more effective prioritisation strategies to ensure reliability and efficiency, especially in congested or complex urban environments. Compounding these demands is the reality that many cities must operate within dense infrastructure settings where large-scale civil engineering works are difficult, costly, or impractical.
These intertwined challenges require modern detection solutions that are technologically advanced, easy to deploy, and capable of addressing a wide range of operational scenarios.
Solution: The AGD650 Intelligent Detector
Since its launch in 2023, the AGD650 has quickly established itself as one of the most advanced and adaptable above-ground detection solutions available. The detector delivers high-performance detection suitable for complex, multi-modal environments where safety and precision are critical. Installation is quick and straightforward, eliminating the need for disruptive or expensive civil works, which makes the device especially well-suited for dense or constrained urban areas.
Beyond its ease of installation, the AGD650 offers a versatile set of functionalities that support cyclists, buses, general traffic, and mixed flows with exceptional accuracy. This combination of adaptability, simplicity, and performance has led to its widespread deployment across France, where it has consistently validated its reliability and operational value.
Field Results and Feedback
Feedback from professionals working directly with the AGD650 confirms its strong performance and flexibility in the field.

Steve explains that the device serves a wide range of uses and is particularly effective in enhancing the management of active mobility, especially for cyclists. He highlights that these benefits are delivered without the need for civil engineering works and through a configuration process that remains smooth and straightforward.
Its deployment is consistently fast and efficient.
Benjamin, Operations & Maintenance Lead, Major French Traffic Integrator
Benjamin notes that the detector performs exceptionally well in public transport applications, particularly in its ability to discriminate buses from other road users. Because of this, he recommends it as a reliable solution that fully satisfies his clients’ operational requirements.
These insights reflect the broader feedback received nationwide and reinforce the AGD650’s position as a leading reference in multi-modal detection and urban mobility management.
Impact
The AGD650 is helping communities across France improve safety at intersections and vulnerable-user crossings while supporting more efficient traffic signal performance and reducing overall congestion. Its ability to deliver reliable bus prioritisation without invasive infrastructure upgrades allows cities to modernize their mobility systems cost-effectively. By combining advanced detection with practical deployment, the AGD650 enables authorities to enhance their operational capabilities and build more responsive, data-driven mobility networks.
Conclusion
As mobility continues to evolve, the AGD650 stands out as a crucial enabler of smarter, safer, and more efficient traffic management. EVA Systèmes, in close partnership with AGD Systems, remains committed to supporting this transformation. Together, they continue to drive innovation in traffic signal technologies and provide sustainable, reliable detection solutions that meet the needs of communities across France.
