US-headquartered 7639 MRL Equipment Company, a leading supplier of road marking and removal / grooving equipment and a regular exhibitor at Intertraffic Amsterdam, will use this year’s event to highlight its range of equipment and to unveil a new machine.

To complement MRL’s large application units the company will showcase its new Mini Mac series of ride-on, self-propelled thermoplastic road marking machines. A small, highly manoeuvrable thermoplastic application unit designed to increase production when applying markings for intersections, symbols or lane lines, the Mini Mac 400 offers a 180kg material tank, electronic skipline and hydrostatic drive system. The company says the machine’s unique ribbon extrusion application die allows the operator to change line widths from 10cm to 30cm with a simple quick action toggle switch.

The Mini Mac 400 is designed to be supplied with hot thermoplastic from truck- or trailer- mounted preheaters that MRL also produces in sizes ranging from 450kg to 1800kg.

MRL will also use Intertraffic to highlight its line of truck-mounted cold paint, thermoplastic and two component units that it says offer the industry’s highest production rates.

    Amsterdam’s Here Technologies has partnered with fabless semiconductor company Decawave to develop a solution that tracks assets in indoor environments. The partnership believes the technology could be applied to automated valet parking for driverless vehicles. The product will feature Decawave’s ultra-wideband (UWB) chipset technology to track objects and people with a 10cm-level precision in indoor environments. UWB signals are intended to provide accurate positioning capabilities that can be harnessed

    David Crawford looks at an under-utilised solution for city-centre deliveries. The use of rivers and canals for moving freight is a well-established mode in North Western Europe, where it can take advantage of an intensively developed network. In the Netherlands, 40% of the total volume of goods transported internally goes by water; the figure for Flanders (the neighbouring Dutch-speaking region of Belgium) is 11.5%.

    Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) researchers have been studying futuristic transport solutions for car-free urban centres and have come up with an optimal design for a network of accelerating moving walkways. This is not a new concept – the first moving walkways were seen in Chicago in 1893 and seven years later they were used at the world’s fair in Paris. They are also regularly used the world over in airports and transport terminals. As part of the PostCarW

  • Increased automation is already improving road safety
    April 20, 2017
    Richard Cuerden considers how many of the technologies developed as part of a move toward autonomous vehicles are already being deployed as ADAS improve road safety. The drive to create autonomous vehicles has caused a re-evaluation of what is needed to safely navigate today’s roads and the development of systems that can replace the driver in many scenarios. However, many manufacturers are not waiting for ‘tomorrow’ and are already incorporating these systems in their new cars as Advanced Driver Assistanc
