Danish technology company 3778 Blip Systems and 7411 Aventi Technology are to partner in a venture designed to expand the BlipTrack tracking solution into the Norwegian market.
                                                                              
By combining Blip Systems’ BlipTrack and the experience of the Norwegian system integrator specialist, the two companies plan to provide Norwegian cities with new ways of fighting traffic congestion.

Using sensors installed in strategic points in the road network, BlipTrack tracks Bluetooth and wi-fi enabled devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and hands-free installations in cars, enabling traffic managers to measure traffic flow and calculate travel time. This offers users a wide range of possibilities to provide real-time queue warning and road sign information, evaluate and regulate traffic signals to optimise flow, reduce CO2 and more, for a fraction of the price compared to conventional technologies such as camera, radar and loops.
 
“We are pleased to have entered partnership with Blip Systems, and are looking forward to implementing their Bluetooth and wi-fi technology, to collect real time data for use in our existing ITS solutions, to improve traffic flow and security in urban areas”, says Aventi Technology general manager Terje Hundere.
 
"The unique capabilities Aventi has in road traffic, automation and telematics complement our BlipTrack solution and will provide added value to Norwegian customers”, says Blip Systems sales director Preben Andersen.

Publication of a UK Government report on road congestion this year has highlighted a need to look beyond home borders when searching out answers to pressing problems. With regard to issues of travel information in particular, UK transport professionals would do well to look overseas for solutions they can emulate.

    Palm Beach trials Bluetooth traffic monitoring
    As part of a growing effort to use technology to manage traffic on roads and highways without building more roads, for the last six months Florida’s Palm Beach County has been using Bluetooth readers to determine how long it takes motorists to travel along its corridors. "We're adding more capacity through technology rather than asphalt," said Dan Weisberg, Palm Beach County's traffic engineer. "We can't build ourselves out of congestion. We need to be smarter about what we have and manage it." In collabor

    Cost-effective alternatives to traditional loops
    Traffic signal control is a mainstay of urban congestion management. Despite advances in vehicle detection sensors, inductive loops, which operate by using a magnetic field to detect the metal components in vehicles, are still the most common enabler for intelligent signalised junctions.
