Big data keeps these entrepreneurs up at night, but in a good way. Self-described “transit data nerds”, the guys at 7868 Transit Labs are working to help build smarter cities through intelligent transportation services. The company’s data analytics solution pulls data from various transportation agencies, analyses the information and makes it accessible through a web-based visualisation dashboard. The goal, according to CEO Dag Gogue, is to optimise the cost of delivering transit services safer and in a more convenient manner for riders.
The Solar Tempo Traffic Light, which TTS says is the only temporary traffic light to integrate a waiting time display, is visible up to 40 metres. The time display reduces impatient behaviour on the road. Flexible and easy to use, Tempo Traffic Light offers the ability to manage junctions for all road configurations, and uses renewable energy with its solar panel and charge regulator.
Swedish company MetSense will be at Intertraffic Amsterdam to highlight its complete sensor solutions for winter road maintenance, and will present MetSense 2DRoad, a multi-pixel camera system for detection of road status in two dimensions. When installed on a road weather station, the camera system can offer a visual image of one or several lanes of road with a semi-transparent overlay of current road condition, such as dry, wet, ice, or snow, in thousands of points on the road surface.
China’s Chainzone Technology (Foshan) is making its third visit to Intertraffic with its range of variable message systems, traffic signal and control systems. A long-term supplier to Germany’s Siemens, it supplies vehicle-mounted LED displays, passenger information boards and traffic signal controllers to around 50 countries.
The Agmi Area Lighting system can be used in many different applications by changing the lens photometry that is located on the modules. One of the main advantages is that the lumen output of each individual module can be controlled separately.
