Overview

The Botech Advanced Detection System (ADS) is a high-performance detection solution for complex traffic and transit environments. It integrates precision sensors with deterministic control logic to deliver dependable actuation for traffic signal control, TSP, and broader smart-city deployments.

Multi-Sensor Options

Choose LiDAR, Radar, or Ultrasound per site needs—balancing range, refresh rate, and near-field fidelity.

Edge Intelligence

On-device logic validates detections and avoids false calls, enabling safe behavior during network loss.

PoE Simplicity

Power and data over a single cable reduces installation complexity and supports rapid deployment.

Technology & Architecture

Device Composition

ADS pairs the selected sensor (LiDAR, Radar, or Ultrasound) with a hardened processing module and configurable I/O. Two-way links enable conditional detection, advanced logic, and synchronized behaviors across nodes.

Scalable & Transparent

A modular architecture scales to 250+ sensors, with a transparent design that simplifies installation, troubleshooting, and lifecycle upgrades.

Casing & Environmental

Outer size: 320 × 114 mm; Inner size: 108 mm
Material: Stainless Steel; Ingress Protection: IP66
Operating Temperature: per sensor type (see table)

Operator Tools

Windows-based UI for configuration and real-time monitoring. Wireless links to controllers can reduce trenching cost.

Validation Behavior

Output is capped at 1 second to ensure detection validation in close-contact applications and prevent spurious activations.
