Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting targets in roadway intersections. Transmit antennas transmit signals into a roadway intersection. Receive antennas receive corresponding signal reflections off objects in the roadway. The reflections correspond to two dimensional image data for the roadway intersection. The reflections are conditioned for compatibility with a processor. The processor processes the condition reflections into a two dimensional image of targets in the roadway intersection.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the speed and/or direction of a target such as a vehicle in a field of view. The speed of a vehicle is measured using distance measurements, phase measurements, or Doppler shift measurements using a single transducer side fire configured sensor. The speed of a vehicle can be measured using laterally spaced transducers in a side fire or off angle configuration and using a single transducer sensor in a forward fire configuration.
