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.

Turkish company Vendeka is looking to expand its operations internationally after completing what it describes as the first passive RFID-based tolling project in Europe. The company installed the system on the Bosphorus Bridge, which links Europe and Asia. Previously, tolling was achieved by a card-based system, but traffic jams were caused by drivers stopping to place their cards in the readers. This has been replaced by Vendeka’s passive RFID system. A major advantage, says Vendeka, is that a passive RFID
