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.
