Vision 2013 cancelled

Responding to requests for change from many exhibitors, and after discussions with the 6855 European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), Messe Stuttgart has decided to move the Vision to a biennial cycle with immediate effect, which means that the Vision exhibition will take place in 2014.

The reason for this change is attributed to the fact that, although the show had been successful for many years, this success was in jeopardy due to the change of date from November to September and the fact that some major exhibitors had already decided not to participate in 2013.

EMVA is aware that for a large number of vision companies all across Europe, Vision is the major platform to present their products to an international audience.  It will focus on measures to fill the gap and provide a platform of support for its members and aims, with Messe Stuttgart, to make Vision 2014 even more successful.

    David Crawford takes a look at the debate surrounding bus subsidies. Subsidies for public transport are a well-known and frequently-used policy tool directed at reducing the high environmental and social costs of peak-period traffic congestion.

    The logic supporting a cross-border enforcement Directive for the European Union (EU) is both detailed and compelling. The White Paper on European transport policy published in 2001 included the ambitious objective of reducing by 50 per cent by 2010 the number of people killed on the roads of the EU. But since 2005 the reduction in the number of road deaths has been slowing down: overall, the period from 2001 until 2009 saw the number of fatalities decrease by 36 per cent.

    The City of Edmonton in the Alberta province of western Canada has a system in place which American Traffic Solutions (ATS) believes exemplifies how a road safety camera programme should be operated. Edmonton’s programme began in September 1999 with six cameras rotating through 12 locations. Nearly 10 years later, at the beginning of 2009, provincial legislation was passed allowing police agencies in Alberta to use road safety cameras to enforce both red light and speed infractions.

    As the road-building season gets under way in the US, the Federal Highway Administration has just published a White Paper which deals with the use of ITS technology in work zones. On 30 April 2009, the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published a White Paper which was prepared by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) to inform public agencies about the use of ITS to manage construction work zones. This is a particularly relevant topic given the large number of construction projects that are ex
