The A.U.G. Signals Ltd. (AUG) animal detection and warning system based on perimeter surveillance radar has been very effective in reducing the number of collisions involving animals on a rural highway section (Highway 416) in Ontario. The system detects th presence and movement of animals and warns roadway users on a real-time basis. The proposed research will validate the vast amount of field data collected by the existing radar system on a 24/7 basis. As the data available include the position of individual vehicles second by second as the vehicles pass through the monitored area, the study will investigate the possibility of incorporating a new technical function to conduct law enforcement (speed enforcement). The collected field data can be used to: 1) count vehicles (e.g., daily and hourly traffic volume); 2) classify vehicles (passenger cars, heavy vehicles, etc.); and 3) measure the speed of individual vehicles. To use the data in the ways listed, and especially for law enforcement, AUG and highway governing agencies require scientific evidence that the 24/7 data are sound and that the undertaking is technically feasible. The proposed study by York University working with AUG aims to provide the necessary scientific validation and independently confirm the system as an innovative multi-purpose traffic monitoring system. The system's automatic law enforcement based on individual vehicles' section speed would make an additional and significant contribution to road safety. The research outcomes are expected to help a Canadian manufacturing company to grow and to become a national and international leader in multi-purpose real-time surveillance sensing technology that can significantly reduce both the number of collisions involving animals and the number of collisions involving speeding on rural highways where the system is installed.

A.U.G.Signals Ltd.(AUG)基于周边监视雷达的动物检测和警报系统在减少安大略省农村高速公路路段(416号高速公路)上涉及动物的碰撞数量方面非常有效。该系统检测动物的存在和移动，并实时警告道路使用者。拟议的研究将验证现有雷达系统全天候收集的大量实地数据。由于现有数据包括个别车辆通过监控区域时的每秒位置，研究将探讨加入新的技术功能进行执法(速度执法)的可能性。收集的现场数据可用于：1)统计车辆(例如，每天和每小时的交通量)；2)对车辆(乘用车、重型车辆等)进行分类；以及3)测量单个车辆的速度。为了以所列方式使用数据，特别是对于执法部门，AUG和高速公路管理机构需要科学证据，证明24/7数据是可靠的，并且这项工作在技术上是可行的。约克大学与Aug合作进行的这项拟议研究旨在提供必要的科学验证，并独立确认该系统是一种创新的多用途交通监控系统。该系统基于个人车辆路段速度的自动执法将为道路安全做出额外而重大的贡献。预计研究成果将帮助一家加拿大制造公司发展壮大，并成为多用途实时监控传感技术的国内和国际领先者，该技术可以显著减少涉及动物的碰撞数量，以及在安装该系统的农村高速公路上超速行驶的碰撞数量。
