RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:An IRD comparable (Yahoo Finance)Weeds? Maybe, but there's an important question related to in-road sensors vs. camera sensors.
Wiil the latter ultimately be able to supplant the former? If the cameras and related hardware can become so good that there will ultimately be no need for in-road then buying Sensor Line was a mistake.
I'm sure the reality must be that there will always be some projects where you need in-road. But where is the dividing line?
What types of projects will favour in-road hardware? (This will also apply to WIM vs. virtual WIM.) Will in-road be more easily justified in new highway construction? Will it win out in some projects because it can achieve a level of accuracy that justifies direct enforcement (where camera-based systems can't)?
This will be an important question for IRD. Iteris appears to have hitched its wagon to cameras. IRD looks to be hedging its bets (and broadening its offerings) by going for both.
