129 Swarco has announced that its iTravel traffic data acquisition system has received approval from the Dutch National Data Warehouse Institute (NDW), created by 15 authorities, including the Dutch Highway Authority 4767 Rijkswaterstaat, to provide complete, reliable and up-to-the-minute information on the status of the Dutch road network - all motorways and major provincial and city roads - at all times.

This approval is a major step for the innovative, solar-powered iTravel system that combines 1835 Bluetooth wireless technology, next generation PIR infrared traffic detectors and 3G wireless data transmission for accurate and reliable traffic data acquisition for the National Data Warehouse (NDW) operation.

The project was won by the Data4Traffic consortium, comprised of Van den Berg Infrastructuren, Swarco AG, and VerkeersInformatieDienst, and alone will encompass over 1,000 measurement points throughout the Dutch road network. 1803 ADEC Technologies, a privately-held manufacturer of non-intrusive traffic detectors based in Switzerland, has supplied the project with specially enhanced PIR detectors. The company’s marketing manager, Andreas Hartmann, said, “We are very pleased with the positive result of the tests and feel that the innovative and versatile iTravel system integrating our enhanced PIR detectors will find applications outside The Netherlands as well.”

According to Boris Ulrich, head of detection at Swarco, “the cooperation with ADEC has been extremely productive; their specifically for Swarco enhanced TDC1-PIR detectors constitute a major step forward in low-power, high-accuracy traffic detection technology.”
