569 Sensys Traffic has received orders worth US$13 million from the 746 Swedish Transport Administration as part of its three-year contract with the authority.  The orders are for equipment to be used in the Swedish automatic traffic control (ATC) system, indicating that the Swedish Transport Administration intends to expand the system.

The orders include monitoring systems, roadside cabinets and spare parts for speed enforcement. Almost two-thirds of the order is for replacement of existing ATC systems, while the remainder relates to new equipment. Installation, start-up and maintenance are not included in the amount of this order, but will be added during the year.

Deliveries are expected to start in the second quarter of 2014 and continue into the fourth quarter. As of the second quarter, Sensys will also perform all preventive and corrective maintenance of both existing and new ATC systems during the second quarter.

"I am looking forward very much to seeing the effects of the new technology coming out to the roads and improving traffic safety in Sweden. The value of the order and the structure also indicate that the overall value of the contract for Sensys during the first three years will significantly exceed the minimum contractual amount of US$16.5 million," says Johan Frilund, CEO of Sensys Traffic.

But these signs mean that Amsterdam's city centre is strictly off-limits to polluting goods traffic. At the moment compliance is monitored by special wardens wh

    Study finds big differences in toll collection cases
    Examination of Norway’s tolling companies finds much to praise, and some criticisms too, as Torill Eidsheim told delegates at the ASECAP conference. The cost of collecting tolls has a substantial effect on the profitability, or otherwise, of tolling companies and is within the company’s control to a far greater degree than, for instance, traffic volumes. And while it is easy to assume that all tolling companies incur similar collection costs, that is not always the case according to Torill Eidsheim, pres

Pete Goldin reports. What would a car say if it could talk? Its first words might be: "Here I am". Many vehicles are communicating that very message to each other right now. Admittedly, this is in controlled environments of US Department of Transportation (USDoT) tests, but within the next few years 'connected vehicle

Systems of road user charging are flexing their muscles as the means to solve politically sensitive transportation problems, reports Jon Masters. Gothenburg, January 2013, will be the time and place for the launch of the next city congestion charging scheme in Europe. In a separate development, Los Angeles County’s tolled Metro ExpressLanes began operating in November 2012 – the latest in a ser
