Summary
COI synopsis: Solving a problem often means first spotting exactly where the problem lies. In this issue we look at a few of these areas where detection is the crucial first step. No longer any need to spend infuriating minutes waiting at temporary traffic lights. This new miniature radar first detects the flow of traffic - and then operates the lights.
