3826 TE Connectivity has announced that its FlexWave Prism distributed antenna system (DAS) has been deployed to provide clear and consistent mobile service for multiple mobile operators throughout the Copenhagen Metro subway system.

The FlexWave Prism system replaces an incumbent DAS solution that was having performance and reliability problems. Additionally, the existing DAS had active elements in train tunnels that required maintenance in areas where access was severely restricted. The FlexWave Prism DAS minimised this issue by lowering the number of active elements in the tunnel from more than 50 to 13. This significantly reduces maintenance costs while improving reliability.

Another significant saving was the removal of the eight local base station locations deployed throughout the Metro. The base stations were replaced by a base station hotel that supports multiple operators from one central location, reducing real estate costs and simplifying network management.

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers. It was back in April 2004 that the European Parliament adopted the EU Directive which lays down the Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (2004/54/EC). This was the first unitary legislation setting minimum safety standards for European road tunnels and was designed to harmonise the management of tunnel safety at a national level. Operators of existing tunnels have until 30 April 201

Road weather information is one of the key ways in which ITS can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities – which is why the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has long provided road weather services. Now, the CoMoSeF (Cooperative Mobility Services of the Future) project has been developing communication methodologies to deliver road weather services directly to vehicles and g
