European technical services provider Royal Imtech (769 Imtech) has been awarded a series of contracts worth US$57.5 million to upgrade the current traffic infrastructure in Stockholm, Moscow, Dublin and Copenhagen, as well as providing the technical infrastructure in a double-deck tunnel in Maastricht, Holland.

The company will implement a Motorway Traffic Management (MTM) system on the E18 motorway in Sweden, an important road link in the northern part of Stockholm, featuring two tunnels and used by 50,000 vehicles each day. Based on a glass fibre network, about 200 fully automated variable message signs (VMS) will be installed to provide the traffic with up-to-date traffic information and warnings.

In Russia, where the city of Moscow is improving traffic mobility, existing infrastructure such as traffic control centres, glass fibre networks and intelligent traffic controllers is to be upgraded to prepare for the implementation of an adaptive traffic management system. Following two successful pilot programmes, Imtech was commissioned to supply 200 traffic controllers in the first phase of a continued development programme.
 
Imtech has successfully maintained and managed Dublin’s traffic signal services under a multi-year contract awarded in 2012. The company has now been awarded further contracts, including the maintenance of the technical traffic infrastructure at Dublin airport and an operational contract for the technical infrastructure on the iconic Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin.

Following the successful technical maintenance of the infrastructure for all 365 intersections in Copenhagen and the supply of a traffic management system aimed at making the Danish capital fully CO2 neutral by 2025, Imtech has received new orders for the supply of a road monitoring system, the installation of Imtech's ImFlow technology at ten intersections, cooperative communication between buses and traffic controllers and prioritisation of cycle traffic.

In p[partnership with Strukton and Ballast Nedam , the company will also provide the design and implementation of all tunnel and traffic technical solutions, including the overall management, monitoring and control systems for the 2.3 kilometre ‘The Green Carpet' (De Groene Loper) tunnel in Maastricht. This will be the first double-deck tunnel in the Netherlands to have four tunnel tubes, two above and two below with two traffic lanes each. Eighty percent of the current traffic volume will run underground, which will considerably improve traffic flow and traffic safety.

René van Bruggen, Imtech CEO says, 'Imtech's smart traffic technology solutions are allowing it to contribute to better traffic management in Europe which will improve traffic flow as well as the safety of road users. Our footprint in Europe is growing.'

If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
