Visitors here at Intertraffic 2016 are meeting Dynniq, a brand new company they will already know well because it has a long and successful track record!

Imtech Traffic & Infra is now 8343 Dynniq and has adopted the motto, ‘energising mobility’. The newly-named company is focusing on technology and innovation and is positioning itself around three markets: mobility, parking and energy.

The company was the first in the Netherlands to develop products to make cooperative applications possible so it is no surprise that under the heading of cooperative and connected mobility, Dynniq will continue to develop the next step in traffic management that connects infrastructure with individual road users.

It will also specialise in city management, developing scenario-based network management that improves city life, as well as control systems that provide state-of-the-art infrastructure management. Importantly for the environment, Dynniq continues to develop air quality monitoring tools to effectively reduce emissions as well as communications networks that make technology work.

Although a brand new name, Dynniq has many years of experience in managing mobility and energy issues and was responsible for the delivery of several progressive projects. For example, the former Imtech Traffic & Infra was co-responsible for the construction of the well-publicised SolaRoad, an innovative road surface converting sunlight into energy.

The company was also the party behind the intelligent intersections in Helmond, Netherlands where traffic flow has been improved by connecting intersections with each other and SCOOT, the international adaptive control system.

As Dynniq CEO Cees de Wijs commented: "Designing, connecting and integrating systems is what we are good at. This is also going to be our focus in the coming years.”

    January 27, 2012
    David Crawford reviews promising current developments. Instrumentation of the road infrastructure has grown to become one of the most dynamic sectors of the ITS industry. Drivers for its deployment include global concerns over the commercial and environmental pressures of traffic congestion, the importance of keeping drivers informed throughout their journeys, and the need to reduce accident rates and promote the safety of all road users, for example by enforcing traffic safety rules.

    A major initiative in managing numerous transport networks as a single system has moved into a significant phase with design of sophisticated new ITS systems. Jon Masters reports. Detailed design work is under way on two pilot projects pursuing a common principle – that transportation can be made more efficient or effective if the various networks and modes of travel are managed as a whole system. This is the central tenet of the US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)

    Next year sees the start of the first real-life electrified road system for transporting freight. Worldwide freight transportation is predicted to double by 2050 but despite expansion of global rail infrastructure only one third of this additional freight transport can be handled by trains. This means that the largest proportion of freight transport will continue to be by road and as a result, experts expect global CO2 emissions from road freight traffic to more than double by 2050.
  • Automatic signal control to prevent emergency vehicle collisions?

    Field trials under way in Arizona promise eradication of accidents between emergency vehicles at intersections – as part of a national focus on ‘intelligent signal’ infrastructure. Collisions between police cars, ambulances and fire crews as they reach intersections at the same time, with equal priority given by all signals set on red, are as serious as they sound absurd. For emergency teams and those in need of their help, the consequences are dire. The solution could come from application of connected veh
