Sick’s new TDC helps access smart traffic data anywhere

Sick’s new TDC - telematic data collector - gateway enables easy collection of sensor and system data from mobile and stationary systems. Together with localisation data (GPS), the data can be transferred to a server or cloud via a 3G mobile communication protocol (MQTT) provided in the system. Data can be displayed, monitored, recorded and analysed in no time at all and from any location, according to the company. This means that users can respond in a strategic, economically appropriate manner.

536 Sick’s new TDC - telematic data collector - gateway enables easy collection of sensor and system data from mobile and stationary systems.


Together with localisation data (GPS), the data can be transferred to a server or cloud via a 3G mobile communication protocol (MQTT) provided in the system.

Data can be displayed, monitored, recorded and analysed in no time at all and from any location, according to the company. This means that users can respond in a strategic, economically appropriate manner.

As well, evaluations can be carried out – based on the incoming data – in the TDC system, resulting in real-time outputs (responses) via I/Os or SMS messages (alarms).

The TDC can be used in stationary traffic, like self-sufficient traffic monitoring stations, or on mobile units such as trailers, buses and tanker trucks.

Not only does Sick use sensors to provide real-time data for ongoing function automation, it also provides access to smart data as a service for the detection of tunnel or vehicle conditions, for predictive maintenance and process organisation and optimisation.

    Intercomp has launched a low-speed Weigh in Motion (LS-WiM) system which it says allows fleet managers to collect the weight of vehicles without hampering traffic flow. The system is suitable for high-volume entry and exit gates and, unlike full-length truck scales, does not require incoming and outgoing traffic to stop every time a vehicle needs to be weighed, the company adds. According to Intercomp, the system’s small footprint allows it to be installed at most facilities at approximately half

    Networking communications equipment vendor Nokia is looking to edge computing to solve road operators’ problems, bringing legacy networks together under its ‘roadside cloud’ concept. “We don’t want road operators to get rid of their existing infrastructure,” explains Matthias Jablonowski, global practice lead – road at Nokia. But it believes connecting roadside infrastructure with a central management system via its roadside cloud – based on the multi-access edge computing (MEC) standard – will allow
