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.
