HISTORY

CEOS was founded and incorporated in 1994 by three PhD graduates from the University of Melbourne

Their initial business focus was on the development of broadband telecommunications, opto-electronics, and electronics products. These developments resulted in a Portfolio of Leading Edge Products in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical access networks, gigabit backplanes and interconnections, broadband electronics, burst-mode receivers, wireless RF sub-systems, ultra-sensitive analogue electronics, and high reliability software controlled electronic products.


Development of TIRTL

In 1998, the company began the development of a photonic based vehicle counter, classifier and speed measurement product that became known as the The Infra-Red Traffic Logger ("TIRTL").

TIRTL is a unique light-based non-invasive vehicle detector, counter, classifier and speed measurement product available in either fixed site or portable configurations. TIRTL offers advanced traffic detection (ATD) features and performance not previously contemplated in the Intelligent Traffic Systems sector.

TIRTL is capable of operating in installations to cover uni-directional, bi-directional, or multi-lane traffic flow with a single system.

TITRL consists of transmitter and receiver units on opposite sides of a carriageway. TIRTL uses two parallel and two cross beams below axle height to detect and classify passing vehicles. The system has a speed measurement accuracy with less than 1% error up to 250km/hr and precisely measures the number of axles, axle separation, wheel width and the front to back wheel width ratio to classify vehicles.

The first version of TIRTL was deployed in NSW, Australia , in July 1998.

As of today, CEOS has sold TIRTL to State instrumentalities in Australia and New Zealand , as well as through our partners in the USA , India , Singapore , South Africa , Turkey and Europe .
