Germany-headquartered 102 Peter Berghaus will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to present its latest portable traffic engineering products. The company’s top-selling export product, the MPB 1400 LED low-cost mobile traffic light system will be presented in its new flat design. The traffic light quartz controller for alternating one-way traffic and crossroads traffic already has LED technology in the standard version and is now GPS-synchronised. Users of this multilingual mobile traffic light are guided through the menu as easily as using a TV remote control.


The new EPB 24 Multiprocessor portable traffic light controller will also be showcased. A data bus cable connects the master and slave components which are used for direct control of large traffic light crossroads with 24 signal groups and up to 64 signal heads, with the option of 40V lamps or LED technology for every signal group.


The Berghaus partner, service provider AVS Traffic Safety Group, will also be in Amsterdam to show the full range of services available for professional traffic safety with the latest addition to the ProTec roadworks safety family: the new easily handled mobile ProTec 50 City crash barrier, ideal for urban traffic safety, together with the proven ProTec 100, ProTec 120 and ProTec 160 crash barrier systems.

    Hybrid communications to variable message signs increase resilience to natural disasters and enable deployment in remote areas, as Alan Allegretto explains. Variable Message Signs (VMSs) are a common sight and a well-proven means to improve public safety on our roads and highways. ITS professionals rank the VMS as second only to interoperable radios as the most important technology to improve effectiveness during emergency incidents and evacuations. Ironically, however, current systems suffer from one criti

    Citizen Band radio is proving useful to prevent accidents in Germany’s roadworks. In common with other German Länder (federal regions) with large volumes of commercial vehicles using their trunk road networks, Bavaria had been experiencing high levels of road traffic accidents (RTAs) involving heavy trucks in the vicinity of minor motorway maintenance sites. This was despite the extensive visual warning regulations published in the German federal road safety audit (RSA) guidelines for the protection of site

    Jim Leslie, manager of ITS applications engineering at the Econolite Group looks at practical steps in transitioning from closed-loop masters to a centralised ATMS. Not many years ago the standard method of coordinating signalised intersections in local areas was to install an on-street master – each of which monitored and controlled a limited number of signal controllers or intersections as a closed-loop system. And, to a certain extent, each closed-loop system was autonomous from others deployed by the ag
