SES America arrives at World Congress fresh from the National Rural ITS conference where its SolarSign was awarded New Product of the Year. SolarSign is a solar powered Dynamic Messaging Sign (DMS) system with full range capabilities for large scale displays on major highways in both rural and urban locations. The solar power system allows signs to be erected where needed without placement being dictated by access to power and the signs can display travel times, warnings and awareness signs.

The NTCIP compliant company uses the latest LEDs which are 30-50% more efficient than traditional LED’s and eliminate the need for a cooling system therefore reducing both power consumption and maintenance costs. An optional power and temperature monitoring system provides real-time feedback to eliminate operational uncertainties regarding the power supply.
Spanish company Proin manufactures a range of products for work zones. Its PROINbal brand encompasses road delineators, cylindrical bollards, polyethylene barriers, road studs, beam and concrete barrier reflectors, speed bumps, cones and other luminous devices.
Citilog, a global leader in AID (automatic incident detection), will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 to introduce XcamEdge, a new innovation in the company’s XCam smart sensor series.
Initially developed and designed for intersection control applications such as presence detection with XCam-p, the XCam range quickly expanded, with the XCam-ng, to smart detection for intersections with queue monitoring and anti-gridlock applications. Indeed, the latest success of the XCam-ng is the smart traffic control
Car and ride sharing is just one example of the new on-demand economy allowing real-time matching of supply and demand through connected smartphone applications. According to ABI Research, successive forms of vehicle sharing approaches represent paradigm shifts in uptake and popularity; each new generation seeing adoption rates at least an order of magnitude larger than the previous: Car sharing 1.0 - street rental service: Cars parked on the street can be located, unlocked, used, and left behind.
