Ticketless parking payment systems specialist Veri-park has launched an advanced vehicle counting technology that can be integrated with 129 Swarco and third-party variable message signs (VMS) to better direct traffic through busy town centres.

The system uses loop counting detection at car parks’ entrances and exits, removing the need for onsite hardware.

Veri-park securely transmits data via the cloud to the VMS to give drivers up-to-date and accurate information on the availability of car parking spaces, helping local councils to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and minimise pollution and journey times.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
