Austria-headquartered 7602 Twong Engineering will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 for the world premiere of the patented and certified Twong mobile fastening and support system with numerous applications in the road and traffic sector. The device is adjustable and can be affixed to practically all common supporting structures such as crash barriers or concrete safety walls.

Its unique design consists of a ‘clamp’ which is tightened by a load securing device, such as a tension belt, in order to support the tubes for the various mounted structures. The patented technology uses a ‘3-point clamping element’ which is linked to a tensioning element. The company says it is virtually impossible for objects to shift or come loose.

Assembly is easy and requires no tools. Further benefits are easy transportation and very high loadbearing capacity. Twong has many different applications, for example, to mount screening walls, dirt screens, notice boards, or light fixtures. It can also be used to secure hazardous areas, to mount traffic signs, traffic control systems and much more. Due to its high versatility, it can be adjusted for use on all common concrete safety barriers and guard rails.

According to Twong Engineering, its device is unique in that there is no other product of its kind on the market that can be mounted without using any tools and without causing damage to the supporting structure by drilling holes or applying other fastening methods. Furthermore, Twong offers flexible height and width adjustment and can therefore be mounted on all common structures.

    Motorists drive to a location to do something, not to park. Minimising the effort required to park is the aim of a new system that integrates EasyPark’s new in-car parking payment app with the forthcoming Volvo Sensus Connect in-car information and navigation system. When a motorist parks up, at a location suggested by Sensus Connect close to the driver’s stated destination, they receive a message on the dashboard display asking if they wish to start a parking transaction.

    An important strategic task every company must do periodically is review products and make sure they match the goals and direction of the company. In March, Vaisala, the global weather solutions provider, concluded that three non-weather road transportation products no longer match its long term strategy, and thus sold these products to another company. Vaisala says the change will allow it to increase its already industry-leading innovations, such as the non-intrusive road weather sensors, and the Conditio
