At the 2015 ITS World Congress, Ericsson will highlight how transport ecosystems players can share data or partner to benefit from the increased amount of traffic data, and at the same time contribute to reducing circulating vehicles, traffic jams and accidents. According to Ericsson, traffic authorities today are dependent on limited sources of information for decision making such as road sensors and cameras, and mass media modes of communication for alerting drivers. Meanwhile, commuters are increasingly

T-Systems will be demonstrating the Satellic Tolling Platform, a state-of-the-art, high-quality GNSS-based, road-user charging system at the 2015 ITS World Congress.

All key processes in the lifecycle of a toll collection system – for both end-users and the OBU – will be on show. Insights will be given into the quality of the GNSS toll detection and calculation algorithm as

Lithunia-headquartered JSC Viltechna will use the 2015 ITS World Conference to present an automatic obstacle detection and collision avoidance system that was developed to cover safety, detection, control and monitoring issues at railroad crossings. It is claimed that this laser scanner-based integration friendly solution offers 100% coverage of the observed area, reliable monitoring without false alarms in any weather conditions and ensures collision avoidance by early warning/video transmission to respons

Against a background of increasing concern and instances of the threat of the potential danger of connected cars being hacked, the 2015 ITS World Congress will bring automotive thought-leaders together to separate fact from the hype and address the real challenges facing the increasingly connected vehicle.

TSS-Transport Simulation Systems will be showcasing the Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management. The system is the analytical engine for high-profile traffic management projects such as the award-winning Interstate 15 Integrated Corridor Management System (ICMS) led by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and, in France, the Grand Lyon pilot site for the Opticities project to optimise citizen mobility and freight management in urban environments. The Lyon real-tim

NXP, together with Siemens and Honda, will showcase some of the latest automotive technology which is helping to drive the industry towards more intelligent, safer, vehicles, at the ITS World Congress in Bordeaux.

Intercomp Company is showcasing its strip sensor product line for High-Speed Weigh-In-Motion (HSWIM) in-road installations this year at the 2015 ITS World Congress. The sensors utilise strain gauge technology for durable, stable, and accurate data collection of vehicle weight data at a variety of speeds. Capable of ASTM 1318 Type III, or COST A(5) performance, the sensor systems provide data including the wheel weight, axle weight, gross vehicle weight (GVW), vehicle configuration and speed. This allows us

Nedap, a specialist in systems for long-range identification, wireless vehicle detection and city access control, will use the 2015 ITS World Congress, to introduce the next generation of Microwave RFID reader, Transit Ultimate, that identifies vehicles and drivers at a distance of up to 10 metres (33 ft.) and a travelling speed of up to 200 km/h (125 mph) by using semi-active (2.45 GHz) RFID technology. The new Transit Ultimate contains a second communication channel at 433 MHz that enables a wider bandwid

Vitronic will use the 2015 ITS World Congress to present its new Enforcement Trailer, a joint development with French partner Cegelec, that combines the traffic calming effect of fixed speed enforcement with the flexibility of a mobile solution.
