The ITS Austria stand at World Congress
Austria is hosting the ITS World Congress, so you might expect something special on the 5499 ITS Austria stand. Well you are not going to be disappointed!
About 40 Austrian companies will be represented on Stand E10 to show their products and services. For example, together with the Vienna Transport Authority, 6621 Telereal will show its ‘multi-sensual’ sign system, a new type of info point for people with hearing, visual or physical impairments.
2264 IPTE will present a ‘virtual’ game fence to mitigate against vehicle and large animal incidents. These wildlife warning systems can be installed along stretches of road that are particularly at risk. They recognise when vehicles are approaching and warn wild animals, such as deer, using light signals and ultra-high-frequency sounds.
6623 Innovametall will show an all-in-one infrastructure solution for electromobility called Safetydock – a locker system with an integrated charging station.
Meanwhile, 6624 ITS Vienna Region will show an intermodal traffic service for eastern Austria that integrates current traffic data into route planning and also plans bicycle and walking routes. Further exhibitors at the ITS Austria stand include 6620 BMVIT, 4793 AustriaTech, AIT – 6625 Austrian Institute of Technology, ÖBB, and 750 ASFINAG.

Navtech Radar, the specialist manufacturer of radar-based automatic incident detection (AID) solutions, is unveiling its latest CTS350-X radar at the show. The unit is smaller, lighter and easier to install and commission than previous models and its response time for detecting a stopped vehicle and sending an alert is less than 10-15 seconds. It is suitable for automatic incident detection on bridges and strategic roads and in tunnels and covers up to 1,000m of road surface (500m radius) and detects people
Italy’s largest industrial company, oil and gas giant ENI, has asked all its third-party transport operators to use the new EGNOS system, which allows more accurate tracking of dangerous goods in transit. Satellite-based EGNOS improves the accuracy of existing GPS tracking systems, giving a vehicle’s position to an accuracy of one metre, compared to around four metres by GPS alone, said Telespazio’s Antonello Di Fazio at the World Congress yesterday. EGNOS can be installed via an overnight software upload.
Product enhancement and new launches feature on the SVS-Vistek stand. The company’s Tracer series of cameras now features better heat management a customer-requested improvements to casings’ screw fixings. But alongside improvements sits something wholly new – the SVCam-evo 12040. This is a CMOS-based camera, available in 12MP versions, which offers capabilities – high blooming suppression, low image lag and dynamic range – which matches those of CCD-based rivals, said the company’s Roland Maier.
Point Grey’s range of low-cost and high-performance CCD and CMOS cameras is ideal for traffic applications.
Its high performance Grasshopper3 camera line features Sony’s Pregius global shutter CMOS sensor, available in both USB 3.0 and GigE interfaces. The fast and extremely sensitive IMX174 sensor is a 1.5-inch Exmor CMOS that offers an image resolution of 1920 x 1200 and frame rates up to 162fps. Global shutter CMOS technology allows images of fast-moving vehicles to be captured without motion distort
