Proving the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, Georg Kapsch, CEO of 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom, came to Intertraffic yesterday and challenged attendees with a new vision of how motorists and commercial operators will overcome the competing challenges of congestion, environmental quality and mobility.


He said Kapsch TrafficCom’s acquisition of Schneider Electric’s Transportation Business positions the company to become an even greater global powerhouse, offering its public and private customers one-stop shopping for ITS – from cutting-edge component technology to system design, installation, maintenance and operation.

“The future of transportation is about the seamless integration of all the parts of mobility, from components to systems, and from services to payment,” said Georg Kapsch. “The synergy created by the Kapsch-Schneider combination enables us to deliver just that.”

Kapsch’s solutions featured at Intertraffic range from its Streetline smart parking solution to its Prodata end-to-end solution for public transport operators as well as its Dynac high-performance, integrated software suite of transportation and facilities management.

Dynac’s collaborative implementation by the road authorities of the Netherlands and England will be the subject of a presentation by Marion Braams from Rijkswaterstaat from 2.15 – 3pm on Thursday, 7 April, in the Smart Mobility Theatre here at Intertraffic.

    Smart cities must rely on a mobility mix, real-time predictive models and collaborations, argues PTV’s Miller Crockart. Transport is reaching a new frontier and cities are at the forefront of the trend: for many urbanites, mobility no longer equals a privately-owned vehicle. They want on-demand services that cater for their individual mobility needs efficiently and sustainably - whether that is shared bikes or autonomous electric vehicles.

  • Promoting cycling is the solution to congestion and pollution

    Cycling offers health, air quality and road space/parking benefits, promoting governments and the EU to look at tax and technology initiatives. David Crawford reports. One way to improve urban air quality is to make green alternatives to car use financially attractive. Incentivising employees to switch their travel-to-work mode to using their own bikes could increase cycling’s modal share of commuting travel by 50%, a recent French research project suggests. The country’s government already subsidises pu
