Siemens Mobility is to install 68 traffic detectors from ADEC Technologies on highway E661 from the municipality of Gradiška to the city of Banja Luka in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Busem is using Papercast’s solarpowered e-paper displays to create smart bus stops at 14 major locations across the city of Písek in the Czech Republic.
