129 Swarco is presenting its turnkey solution approach based on Omnia, a sophisticated software solution which encompasses fully automated and adaptive control principles as well as traffic-responsive and traffic-actuated strategies. The company has added to up-to-date traffic monitoring techniques and flexible solutions to integrate a large variety of traffic light controllers, such as Swarco's ITC-3.

Also being highlighted is the company's iTravel, a cooperative traffic measurement solution providing lane level traffic flow measurement and high-precision travel time measurement based on Bluetooth technology. Design and performance highlights will be the award-winning Futurlu LED street light generation and the latest developments in LED-based traffic signals (eco-designed Futura line) and (partly vehicle-actuated) variable message signs for urban, interurban, tunnel, parking and mobile applications.

Meanwhile, Swarco's Traffic Materials division will be presenting its range of high-performance glass bead products which increase reflectivity and durability of road markings.

Intersection crashes continue to represent a worryingly large share of deaths and serious injuries across US highway networks. Statistics from the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration show that an average of 21% of road traffic accident deaths occur at crossings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) calculates that intersection crashes account for 48% of all injury-related i

    According to Ertico, the future of traffic management on urban and inter-urban networks will rely on direct communication and interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure, using new technologies called cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) that support real-time exchange of traffic data. This cooperation can enable a wide range of applications such as vehicle-sourced data collection, green light and speed advice, automated hazard detection, selective vehicle priority, dynamic city logisti

    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
