US-based designer and manufacturer of electronic components for traffic control systems, 41 Eberle Design (EDI), has acquired Reno A&E (Reno) headquartered in Reno, Nevada.

Reno specialises in the production of inductive loop vehicle detectors for the access and parking control, rail and traffic industries, as well as solid state load switches, power supplies, flashers and conflict monitors for the traffic industry.

EDI says this highly complementary add-on enhances its product offering, provides greater industry exposure, and adds depth to its already talented team of product engineers. The acquisition strengthens Eberle’s position in the traffic and access control segment and also provides EDI access to the rail industry, where it has not historically had a presence.

Reno’s strong customer relationships will further diversify Eberle’s customer base and expand Eberle’s geographic footprint. Reno’s technology-driven product development capabilities and engineering team should also accelerate product innovation, enabling both companies to take advantage of opportunities in the rapidly evolving intelligent transportation systems (ITS) market.

    3M is investing $1.3million to expand its research center to develop and test tolling and public safety products, and customers can use it too. When 3M opened its Transportation Safety Research Center (TSRC) in the 1970s it was as an extension of its research facilities. More than a showcase for innovation, the center was—and continues to be—a dynamic outdoor laboratory where new traffic materials, systems, vehicle safety and public safety products are tested in real-world conditions. Now, with 3M expanding

    Smarter transport relies on better communications both with travellers and between transport providers. Andrew Williams reports. Inrix’s prediction that the cost of traffic congestion will rise by 63% to £21bn per year by 2030 clearly illustrates that, in addition to the ongoing inconvenience and inefficiency, ongoing gridlock is a significant drain on the economy. It is against this backdrop that a Cisco-led consortium has launched CitySpire, a smart transport programme that uses location-based services a
