136 Traffex 2013, the 26th international traffic engineering, road safety, parking and highway maintenance exhibition will take place in Hall 5 at the 1068 NEC Birmingham from 16  - 18  April 2013. According to the organisers, the event is set to be one of the largest in its thirty year history, and will once again be co-located with Parkex; Europe’s largest dedicated parking exhibition. The combined Traffex, Parkex Exhibition will provide visitors with the unique opportunity to see over 500 exhibitors from the world of transport, parking and street design all in one central location.

Companies from the UK and around the world will use Traffex 2013 as the launch pad for their latest products and services – many will be showing in the UK for the first time. In addition next year’s event will feature a much larger purpose built Seminar Theatre, offering visitors a wide range of topical briefings and insights from the traffic and parking industry’s leading experts. The three-day seminar programme will be free to attend and organised by ITS United Kingdom, the UK’s 503 Highways Agency, 1837 Department for Transport and The Institution of Highways & Transportation.

Bill Butler, Traffex Exhibition director, comments: “Bringing Traffex and Parkex together has proved to be a great success in previous years and along with a new Street Feature the show promises to offer a truly integrated overview of the transport, parking and the external street design sector. Traffex 2013 returns to Hall 5 at the NEC Birmingham covering 25,000 square meters of exhibition space, innovative seminars, features and over 500 international exhibitors, is free to attend and is a must see for anyone working within these industries.“

    A new frontier in the quest to monitor road traffic is opening up… but using airborne drones to reduce the jams comes with some thorny issues. Chris Tindall reports. Imagine if you could rely on a system that provided all the data you needed to regulate traffic flow, route vehicles and respond swiftly to emergencies for a fraction of the cost of piloting a helicopter. That system exists, but as engineers and traffic managers start to explore the potential of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – more commonly k

    Road deaths fell by a negligible one per cent in the EU last year according to new data released by the European Commission. The drastic slowdown in progress puts at risk the region's target of halving road deaths by 2020. TISPOL general secretary Ruth Purdie called for an immediate end to the reductions in numbers of traffic police. “It is unlikely that anyone will establish a precise provable link between the decline in traffic police numbers and the increase in casualties across Europe. But as long as ro

    Europe will fail to meet its road death targets as enforcement budgets are slashed and drivers face an epidemic of distractions. The European Union will not achieve its aim of halving the number of people killed on its roads each year by 2020, delegates to Tispol’s (the organisation of European traffic police) annual conference in Manchester were told. “The target will be missed because there was only a 17% decrease in road fatalities across Europe between 2010 and 2015 when [the rate of reduction] should h
