SALUTE THE WINNERS! A
smart parking solution which directs city drivers to the likeliest available spaces based on historical and real-time traffic flow data has won the overall prize at the Intertraffic 2018 Innovation Awards. The On-Street Parking Information (OSPI) feature in BMW cars, coupled with an in-dash payments system from ParkNow, guides drivers to the area in which they should have the best chance of parking and then allows them to pay for it. Peter van der Knaap, CEO of Dutch road safety institute SWOV and jury chairman, announced the winner during the official opening of the show. The award judges were impressed with the seamlessness of ParkNow’s payment technology, and with the level of system integration into the car’s dashboard – thus reducing the potential for driver distraction. Ben Rutten of Eindhoven University of Technology said: “ParkNow and BMW’s OSPI will result in a hassle-free last mile, as well as reducing distances driven, resulting in cleaner cities and less congested roads.” A colour-coded navigation map highlights the optimum routes for urban drivers to try, based on information such as parking meter payments and transactions from parking apps, as well as machine learning algorithms. When drivers leave the parking spot, their transaction is automatically closed. ▶ Stand 2.105 www.parknowgroup.com

Royal call for action E ntrepreneurs need collaboration and support from established ITS companies to solve smart mobility issues, urged a member of the Dutch royal family, speaking at the official opening of Intertraffic 2018. His Royal Highness Prince Constantijn van Oranje (pictured) said: “When we think about smart mobility and MaaS, at some point we turn to start-ups.” The Prince, who is special envoy for the Dutch government’s StartupDelta initiative, suggested that entrepreneurs were not coming up with ‘crazy’ ideas – rather, they were presenting solutions to what he sees as ‘crazy’ transport problems. “We think it’s normal to sit in traffic for hours, polluting the planet,” His Majesty said. “So flip it round: they are coming up with pragmatic solutions for our very stupid mobility systems. For this miracle to happen, we need communication.” His Royal Highness encouraged show visitors to go and talk to entrepreneurs who are exhibiting at Intertraffic’s ITSUP event in Hall 9. ▶ Meet the new kids on the block!, p41

Siemens announces TfL deal Siemens has announced a deal with Transport for London (TfL) which will see the German company create a real-time optimiser (RTO) for traffic control in the UK capital. Markus Schlitt, CEO of intelligent traffic systems at Siemens, said: “We are developing the most modern adaptive traffic control system on Earth.” The RTO will sit in London’s Surface Intelligent Transport System (SITS) and will help “really make London a much more liveable city”, Schlitt
added. It is designed to optimise traffic signals by processing data from existing detectors and handling information from other sources such as mobile phones, in a move to aid traffic flow and reduce pollution. The move is aimed at delivering Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s Healthy Streets for London plan, which mandates that 80% of travel will be by sustainable modes by 2041. While the contract has not been formally signed, there is an “agreement to proceed”, Glynn
Barton, director of network management at TfL, told The Daily News. Priorities from the deal will be to make the system as reliable – or more so – than it is now, and to meet the Healthy Streets agenda, he added. The agreement with Siemens lasts for 10 years. “After that, we’ll see where we are,” said Barton. Siemens plans to roll out a similar solution to other mega-cities in the future.

Dutch Minister Cora van Nieuwenhuizen with Jacob Bangsgaard, left and Connekt’s Nico Anten
BE BOLD, URGES DUTCH MINISTER T
he ITS industry must be bold if it is to succeed in helping to solve society’s mobility issues, according to a leading Dutch politician. “If we want to move forwards, we need brains – we also need the balls,” insisted Cora van Nieuwenhuizen, Minister, infrastructure & water management. “No guts, no glory.” Investment was also required, she acknowledged,
in order to help make transport more efficient, safe and sustainable. “The challenges we face are many,” she said at the official opening of Intertraffic 2018. “Our infrastructure is stretched to the limit.” Fatalities on the road are on the rise, and air quality also remains an issue. Looking forward, infrastructure needs to be ready for the advent of the new generation of connected and
autonomous vehicles (C/AV) and this means that telecoms companies need to be more involved in finding solutions. Moreover, she is a firm advocate for fifth generation mobile networks (5G). “Let me assure you that I will fight for this extra gigabit like a ‘giga-bitch’!” she declared. But there would need to be “clear rules on data use, security and privacy”. In the Netherlands, she
promised that the government would help cities and regions to experiment with smart mobility solutions such as ride-sharing. But above all, there is a need for the authorities to talk to the private sector. “Working together will be crucial,” she concluded. “I am fully committed. I will do my part in policy and regulation. I want 2018 to go down as the year that smart mobility truly took off, from start-up to scale.”
Transpo sends message to potential clients “Tell us what you need in markings and we’ll deliver it.” That’s the message to potential European clients says Michael Stenko, chief executive of Transpo Industries, based near New York. Transpo manufactures to customer requirements surface and pavement markings for roads and airfields, as well as the VisiBarrier, a precast polymer concrete barrier panel.

Dailynews INT18_Day 2 DM.indd 4
A big issue for many local authorities and contractors is delivery of enough pavement marking for when they need it, where they need it and on time. Transpo understands the urgency of on-time delivery, especially acute for airfield operators, many of which use the company’s ColorSafe and Rapid Patch products. Color-Safe, a methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin, adheres to both concrete and asphalt. Transpo’s MMA
polymer concrete T-17 Rapid Patch cures to hardness in less than 45 minutes allowing essential emergency repairs to runways. The company recently completed several high-profile contracts in the US road and bridge sector with its Visi-Barrier. It can be used on bench walls in tunnels offering corrosion and impact protection.

Schick Electronic surfs wave of innovation S
chick Electronic says it is surfing on the wave of technical evolution by launching a new generation of camera-based products for parking guidance systems (PGS) here at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2018. The SP4-C Outdoor Camera System is a new solution that relies on state-of-the art artificial intelligence technology. One camera can monitor dozens of spaces and, as the system is based on standard Ethernet technology, it can easily be scaled to thousands of spaces. The cameras transmit still images to a central computer on which the detection software runs. This topology allows for integration of standard shell cameras, which are easy to install and to set up. Moreover, the costs of installation and ownership are reduced compared to traditional solutions. Meanwhile, the SP4-C Indoor Camera System is also based on artificial intelligence technology and adds a new ground-breaking detection feature: plate recognition. This allows for the implementation of new services, like space reservations and lost and found vehicle service. One camera can monitor up to six parking spaces and is easily interconnected to the other cameras in the Ethernet network. This means reduced costs of installation and ownership. ▶ Stand 3.304 www.schick-sa.com

Stego has it covered Keeping traffic control electronics humming along happily is what Stego’s hose-proof hood FFH 086 does. Water is a threat to electrics and electronics in harsh industrial environments or outdoor applications. Stego has on display examples of their made-tomeasure FFH 086 for intake and exit opening in such enclosures. The company also warns that intake and exit openings of filter fan systems can themselves corrode and so jeopardise an enclosure’s electronics. Importantly, the FFH 086 seals these areas securely according to protection class IP56. Developed for the filter fans of the Stego series FPI/FPO 018 and FF 018, they effectively protect against water jets and foreign particles by means of a silicone seal. The FFH 086 hose-proof hood also fits all manufacturers' filter fans with standard cut-out sizes. The FFH features stainless steel construction that is highly weather- and impactresistant. This protects against environmental influences and external intrusions due to mechanical stress and impact. Optional use of a security screw prevents unauthorised removal of the protective cover.

The wrong way is the right way for Seth Anderson from ISS
ISS ALERTS DRIVERS TO DANGER I
mage Sensing Systems is promoting the addition of a wrong-way alerting solution. An all-in-one system, it provides reliable wrong-way detection on ramps. Drivers wrongfully entering the highway from an off-ramp pose a serious safety risk that can result in severe, and sometimes, fatal accidents. The detection of these wrong-way drivers is vital to reducing these risks. The automatic incident detection (AID) wrong-way
alerting solution can monitor any portion of the ramp with a single zone. This module provides accurate detection and fast notification to help improve the safety performance of roadways. “We recognised the safety and life-saving need for a reliable, accurate wrong-way detection system and applied considerable development resources and time into developing this groundbreaking AID solution,” said Jim Cikanek, director of product
management for Image Sensing Systems. “Early detection of wrong way drivers reduces the likelihood of a fatal crash and saves lives. Our system is designed to alert motorists and simultaneously notify authorities, allowing them to intercept the driver.” When the module detects wrong-way vehicles, it sends an automated message alert with an image snapshot via e-mail or text. The system also provides a 30 second video of the event,
allowing traffic operators to visually confirm the wrong-way vehicle and provide emergency officials with details of the vehicle to expedite enforcement actions. In addition to the video verification and event reporting, the system also enables integration with flashing signs and in-pavement lighting products to provide immediate feedback to the driver. ▶ Stand 12.810 www.imagesensing.com
Intertraff launches D-Cop Mobile

Dailynews INT18_Day 2 AT.indd 9
Intertraff is a regular exhibitor at Intertraffic and this year the company is using the event to launch D-cop Mobile, a radically new mobile speed enforcement camera. According to the company, combining a compact, tripod mounted speed camera with multi-lane radar is a first. Tripod mounted systems have been popular with police forces around the world for many years. However, they have either been limited to one lane for enforcement or multi-lane versions are extremely bulky, with trailing cables and hefty external battery packs. Breaking new ground with a truly compact device, which allows for accurate speed monitoring across up to six lanes of traffic, Intertraff says the D-cop Mobile speed camera is the lightest on the market for multiple lane
monitoring, weighing in at just 4kg. CNC machined from a solid aluminium alloy and satin anodised in an array of colours to prevent scratching, the elegant design is enhanced by wireless operation. With an internal battery providing 12 hours of operation and extended temperature capability for harsh environments, D-Cop Mobile makes for an attractive, robust and simple to use device. Set up on site takes just a few minutes. It features an ingenious magnetically attached side door that provides quick and easy access to lens adjustment should that be required. Transportation from site to site could not be simpler as everything - camera, flash and tripod fits into one small case.

Tattile’s double first L
eading Italian ITS company and machine vision specialist Tattile has unveiled two major new innovations for the global traffic and enforcement market: the Vega1 and the Smartaid. The Vega1, a dual channel camera built in an extracompact case to reduce installation impact, is mainly targeted to single lane vehicle tracking, traffic limited areas and priority lanes, as well as surveillance and access control and congestion charge areas. Its high sensitivity image sensors are available for ANPR reading and video streaming, even in harsh and low-light conditions. It can classify vehicles by make, colour and class. Importantly, the Vega1 does not require external infrared lighting and, because local storage is incorporated into the extra-compact device, it can work as a stand-alone unit or continue operation if connectivity is lost or not available. “The Vega1 is a major advance in many ways but what makes it even more flexible for a whole range of diverse applications and requirements is the

range of additional optional functionalities that can be added on demand by customers to meet their specific needs,” said Massimiliano Cominelli, sales manager of Tattile’s Traffic Division. “For instance, the capability to identify a vehicle’s brand, class and the colour by image analysis, together with some traffic statistics.” Meanwhile, Tattile’s Smartaid camera is an allin-one on-board intelligent
traffic system that combines ANPR and complete traffic video monitoring and analysis. Indeed, the company says that its Smartaid product means that multiple devices performing single traffic monitoring and vehicle identification tasks belong to the past. “Our new Smartaid system is a ground-breaking combination of these two former separate disciplines,” says Cominelli. “It includes all the features of a
state of the art APNR system and a vehicle identification system, delivering monochrome and colour pictures. “In addition, the intelligent video analysis of traffic flow can identify traffic disruptions as well as automatically providing alarms in case of congestion, an accident, pedestrians on the road, or any other unusual events.˝ ▶ Stand 12.819 www.tattile.com

recharging and low whole life costs. “In many instances authorities only need to direct vehicles one way or another - for instance when a tunnel is closed or an event is taking place. These changes are infrequent, so most of the time the rotating sign uses no energy while the LED sign consumes power all of the time and usage increases when the sun is shining as the intensity has to be turned to maximum.” Communications coverage is another
differentiator as the rotating sign only has three positions whereas individual messages may need to be sent to the VMS when the required message in not in the library. “We now have all the options we can sit down with authorities and ensure they get the best solution – regardless of the technology mix,” he said. ▶ Stand 12.823 www.rotapanel.com

Join this workshop to understand how big data can help extract actionable insights from a range of data sets, whether the need is to understand historic traffic trends or benchmark roadway performance in support of targeted investment strategies.
▶ 12.15 - 13.00 Traffic and transport models: integrating smart mobility is essential Thijs Muizelaar, Connecting Mobility, and Luc Wismans, Goudappel Coffeng Developments such as MaaS, CAV and C-ITS will impact travellers’ behaviour in terms of movements, modalities and driving behaviour. Forecasts for future demands with regard to infrastructure and public transport are only useful if the effects of all the new ways of travelling are included. In this session, different views on how to integrate smart mobility in models will be examined and challenges ahead assessed.
Smart cities link available data on emissions to smart mobility Joost de Ruiter and Simon Notley, Dynniq The so-called virtual emissions monitor (VEM) calculates emissions, based on real-time traffic data such as speed, type and the number of vehicles and national fleet data, including the division of petrol/diesel/hybrid/ electric engines, in the country. When current calculations show an alarming emission level in a certain area, traffic can automatically be diverted using traffic control systems. Additionally, cooperative technology is used to request hybrid vehicles to shift to zero emission. These applications are already in use in various regions in the United Kingdom, such as Kirklees and Leeds. In The Netherlands, over 16,000 measuring points generating traffic data are now included in the VEM.

I
ntertraffic Amsterdam 2018 brings you the latest products and services, mobility projects, trends and developments in smart, safe and sustainable mobility. In the knowledge programme, cooperation, connectivity and data sharing are receiving extra focus. The two Smart Mobility Theatres in Hall 8 (and the Intertraffic On Stage programme in Hall 7) are providing countless presentations and workshops on solutions for the evergrowing accessibility, safety and climate problems. Pioneers and innovators are here to share knowledge and discuss the mobility of the future on panels, in debates and in inspiring keynote speeches. Authorities are showing the progress and lessons learned regarding social, economic and environmental goals and the many mobility challenges they are facing. Technology suppliers, service providers and solution vendors are demonstrating their solutions to the mobility industry and of course, end-users. Want to know more about (inter)national Smart Mobility ambitions and cross-border
activities, how to realise smart roads and digital infrastructure, in other words, preparing for automated driving, then check out the presentations in the three theatres on pages 17-20. Also highlighted in the theatres is data sharing, using data to fight congestion, creatting new traffic insights and launch Mobility as a Service (MaaS). New services, all with the aim of providing an alternative to the use of the private car and to help to reduce congestion and constraints in transport capacity are being featured. So too are best practices of cooperative and automated driving and various new developments in road safety.

CUTTING EDGE DEPLOYMENT AREA
STATE OF THE ART INFRASTRUCTURE, FACILITIES & SUPPORT
The Netherlands combines a demanding environment, the need to innovate, a receptive and open society with an attractive scale.The right size and combination for deployment of new smart mobility solutions.
Next to an excellent physical infrastructure for all modes of transport and high data connectivity the Netherlands is organized to support the introduction and deployment of new mobility solutions. The Smart Mobility Embassy is the visible proof of the well-organized network that facilitates interested parties.
REGULATORY INNOVATION
PROOF OF PERFORMANCE
Active and open attitude towards regulation of innovations, in sync with EU-policies.
The Netherlands is easy to travel to for anybody who wishes to demonstrate deployed solutions to potential customers. Easy access to users and stakeholders facilitates the proof of performance in practice.
Do you need Dutch expertise and capabilities?
The Smart Mobility Embassy in Hall 8 is a special gateway to knowledge and experience and access to the complete testing chain in the Netherlands. Created by the Dutch, it offers expertise with the aims of encouraging international parties to carry out testing in the Netherlands and exporting Dutch knowledge.
T
he Netherlands is an advanced society characterised by a successful economy and a highly complex transport infrastructure. As such, it offers an optimised environment for the research, testing and deployment of the transformative mobility technologies that will define the future of mobility. Within this context, the Smart Mobility Embassy acts as the source of knowledge, innovation, best practices and deployment options for smart mobility across the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a small, densely populated and highly mobile country. Its transport infrastructure incorporates one of the world’s largest ports (Rotterdam), one of the world’s major airports (Schiphol) and one of the largest Internet Exchanges in the world (AMS-IX). This has created an ever-growing demand for mobility, requiring smart solutions to maximize the effectiveness of the available infrastructure for public and private transport. All modes of transport are used extensively, including bicycles, with high utilisation rates and an expectation of 24/7 service levels. The result is a private sector that is accustomed to delivering working
24
solutions in complex environments, and a requirement for smart solutions that maximise the effectiveness of the available infrastructure.
Driven by data Making data available for optimisation is seen as key to unlock the unused capacity, reduce friction in traffic and create a seamless flow of people and cargo. How to share, protect and monetise data in new business models is tested, individually or in public-private partnerships like Talking Traffic, Bison, I-Share, Open Trip Model, Amsterdam Practical Trial, Smartwayz and many others. Connected and cooperative vehicles that generate and use real-time data are tested in conjunction with road infrastructure, and made ready for deployment. Special test facilities like those in Lelystad and Helmond allow for tests that push the envelope.
Evolving regulations The regulatory environment is continuously adapted to support the implementation of automated driving. Regulation and laws have been specifically developed to
Dailynews | Intertraffic Amsterdam 2018
INTDN18_Day 2 pre material.indd 24
allow for automated vehicle deployment and testing, leading to a first place for the Netherlands in the 2018 Automated Vehicles Readiness Index by KPMG. The Declaration of Amsterdam started the push for applying business models for Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and sharing assets. Government policies in the Netherlands not only push for reduction of GHGemissions by energy transition, but also by increases of productivity, increasing the effective use of available capacity and innovation in logistics in programs like Topsector Logistics, Lean & Green, Green Deal Zero Emission City Logistics and Factor 6. Renowned research institutes and universities deliver the backbone of research and knowhow for implementation and deployment, based on a hands-on attitude focused on close contact with daily practice. The Smart Mobility Embassy is the visible proof of a well-organised network that offers assistance to all public, private and knowledge parties interested in research, testing and deploying of smart mobility solutions in the Netherlands.

TDS NEARS TWO DECADES OF WIM SUCCESS STORIES T
raffic Data Systems is exhibiting its OIML-R134 certified low- and highspeed Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system at Intertraffic 2018. Designed for a speed range from 5km/h to 120 km/h for HGVs, WIM-DSP 32/TMCS-U has been certified by the Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) in Switzerland. “We’ve done WIM for almost 20 years,” says Florian Weiss, CEO of Traffic Data Systems. “The key thing at Intertraffic is to show customers that there is a system available with the certification they’ve asked for. Certification is hard and not every manufacturer of WIM will achieve it. We’ve gone the hard way.” Legal requirements allow for just one out of 1,000 measurements to be wrong, Weiss says. “There is a huge market in terms of weight-based tolling and enforcement,” he goes on, adding that accurate weighing is useful to the authorities and to operators themselves, in a number of important ways. “Overloaded vehicles aren’t covered by insurance – a

which involves several partners: PTB, the German metrology institute; highways research agency BAST; the police; and the city of Hamburg. The next step for the company is to go for class E and class 5 certification, which would allow for a maximum error of +/- 5% in service. “We don’t want to go to 1% error,”
Weiss says. “This is probably not the goal. The more sensors you install, the more precise the results will be.” But there will come a point where the investment is not worth the incremental increase in accuracy, he believes. ▶ Stand 10.321 www.traffic-data-systems.net
Lector Vision launch at the double Lector Vision is here at Intertraffic to stage the world launch of two innovative new products – the Cube camera and Traffic Guard, a ground-breaking software analytics development that was funded by the Spanish government. The company’s Cube camera has a wide range of applications, including tolling control, car parking and traffic monitoring. It combines the advantages of machine vision cameras and IP cameras; has a top-performing Sony CMOS sensor; motorised lenses; RAW image processing; advanced on-board OCR processing; and full camera control, including digital inputs and outputs. The Cube camera has three H264
28
video channels per camera so that, for instance, one channel can undertake OCR while the other two channels can send the video signal, in real time, to a different control centre. Lector Vision’s ground-breaking Traffic Guard analytics software system, development of which was financed by CDTI (Spanish Ministry of Economy), can detect vehicles or objects, and follow them into the image, capturing a range of user-defined different parameters. The system can thus autonomously monitor, control, classify and define alerts for an array of different behaviours on the road.

LIVE NEWS FROM THE SHOW Made to measure: Libor Sušil of Cross Zlin
Cross Zlin introduces OptiWim H
aving won the 2016 Intertraffic Innovation Award, Cross Zlin is back again with a host of new products including a shortlisted fibre-optic based weigh-in-motion system called OptiWim. Marketing manager Libor Sušil describes the system as weigh-in-free-flow as it measures the axle across the full lane width regardless of the position of the wheels and the sensor can also detect
underinflated tyres even on twin wheel configurations. He likens the measuring method to that of a strain gauge but adds that the fibre-optic system provides more information, has direct temperature compensation, is unaffected by radio frequencies and achieves an accuracy of ±3%. There are no electrical cables running to the sensor which comes in several lengths, has an expected life of 10 years and fits into a U-Bed installed in the
road surface. When required, the sensor can be removed and changed without disturbing the road surface by undoing the side holder bars. The company is in the process of having the system type approved but is confident that OptiWim’s A3 precision means it can be used for automatically penalising overloaded vehicles and will offer a speed range from 10km/h up to a theoretical 250km/h. It says automatic ticketing has seen a substantial
improvement in enforcement and penalisation of violators and that removing overloaded vehicles dramatically increases a road’s lifespan. Although the cost of individual fibre-optic sensors is higher than their traditional counterparts, Sušil says because each WIM location needs only a single sensor (in each direction), the overall cost is equivalent to using other technologies. ▶ Stand 10.111 www.optiwim.com
KAMBER GUNNING FOR NEW BUSINESS Kamber, an internationally recognised company in the field of road marking, is here at Intertraffic to highlight a new glass bead gun, born out of requirements, feedback, and the expectations of existing customers. The P86 glass bead gun is very easy to use and maintain. It is equipped with a hardened steel closing piston which is adjustable with a screw to finely and precisely increase or decrease the flow of glass beads, without changing the nozzle diameter. It is also fed easily with glass beads from a pressurised tank. The P86 is also equipped with an adjustable diffuser for orientation and width, that enables it to spread the
30
glass beads equally over a wide line, of up to 20 or 30cm (7.9 or 11.8inch) depending on the model of diffuser. The diffuser, which has a stiffening plate in tungsten carbide to increase its lifetime, can be equipped with a glass bead sensor to avoid having a line without glass beads. This sensor is connected to an electronic device, which manages the gun, for glass beads and paint, in action and various alarms. Kamber states that the P86 is the most economical solution on the market for standard road marking requirements.

Italy’s Iwim uses fibre-optics Italian exhibitor Iwim is exhibiting a new fibre-optic based weigh-in-motion system called the 50_10. Certified to OIML R134 class 10, the system can weigh heavy vehicles with up to five axles at speeds between five and 50km/h (weigh readouts of vehicles travelling above 50km/h are not OIML certified). According to the company, the use of fibre optic technology means the system is not affected by electromagnetic interference or temperature variations, there are no electric cables running to the installation and maintenance requirements are minimal. Installing the 151 x 62cm plates require a 7cm evacuation and the maximum weight limit is 20tonnes per axle.

Kathrein boosts AutoID solutions K
athrein Solutions says that its RRU4000 reader unit and ARU3000 antenna reader unit are the next generation family for all AutoID solutions. To meet all requirements of Industry 4.0, the systems have highly efficient integrated multicore industrial PC (iPC) to process applications, filter algorithms for data mining and business events directly on the device. The RRU 4000 series includes a flexible multiplexer to connect up to four external antennas. The ARU 3000 series includes an integrated 65°wide-range antenna and the powerful reader unit in one housing. Three additional external antennas can be connected as well. Meanwhile, Kathrein said it will
collaborate globally with Tönnjes E.A.S.T., a German car registration plate manufacturer, on electronic vehicle identification (EVI) products. “Our collaboration includes implementing infrastructure on motorways and in cities, as well as establishing and operating central database solutions for authorities and providers,” explains Thomas Brunner, head of RFID within Kathrein Group. The joint portfolio includes new products from both companies. The RRU 4500, Kathrein’s latest generation of RFID reader, has a read range of up to 20m and enables the reliable identification of vehicles in freely moving motorway traffic up to a maximum speed of 250kph. Tönnjes uses RFID technology
in two systems. One is the IDePLATE, a vehicle licence plate with an integrated RFID chip. The other is the IDeSTIX, a windscreen sticker containing a data chip with an encrypted ID number. In order to ensure the IT security of the employed transponder data, the cooperation partners rely on UCODE DNA, the latest hi-security transponders from NXP semiconductors. The decryption takes place directly between the transponders and the Kathrein readers. These are a new kind of combined RFID reader-writer and IoT gateway, as it is called. This means that the data can be loaded directly into a Cloud and then used from there. ▶ Stand 10.218 www.kathrein-solutions.com

Redflex pictures the right processing solution
Mark Talbot with Alcyon
R
edflex is highlighting its innovative solution for processing and managing photo enforcement incidents. This can be a costly, complex and time-consuming task for an organisation, particularly so as camera networks proliferate and volumes of data increase. Numerous touch points and variables in the infringement life cycle add to the challenge.

Talbot. Redflex’s innovative Alcyon back office platform automates the complicated process of camera management, data transfer, extraction of incidents,
transformation of data, adjudication, ticket issuance and payments, including appeals and violator selfservice. At the heart of Alcyon is a powerful rules engine that allows agencies to set their own business rules. No manual intervention is required: Alcyon works to automate the allocation of work, based on the priorities the organisation
establishes. Alcyon’s smart and innovative computer telephony integration solution provides call centres with simplified and consistent information, thereby improving efficiency and customer satisfaction. Resource and asset management are combined into a simple and seamless solution. ▶ Stand 11.105 www.redflex.com
New radar detector from Icoms Intertraffic visitors are the first to see a new radar detector from Icoms Detection – the Belgian subsidiary of IRD. The pole-mounted unit, knows as the TMA-13X, has a range of 80 metres, identifies up to 32 vehicles (targets) across three or four lanes of oncoming traffic and can monitor the route vehicles follow through an intersection. According to the company, one TMA-13X unit can replace multiple loops (approach and stop line) without any roadworks and it functions regardless of light conditions, rain, snow or fog which can impair video based systems. The 24gHz (K-band) unit needs to be positioned some 20 – 30metres from the stop line

(usually on the opposite side of the intersection) to provide the necessary coverage and up to nine detection areas can be set up using a laptop and a webcam. One detector is needed per branch to monitor all directions but as they are installed above ground, the overall cost is said to be lower than using loops and easier to install and maintain than cameras. The TMA-13X has an operating range of up to 80metres and a temperature range of -20 to +60°C and identifies vehicles travelling at up to 140km/h and can provide an approximate vehicle count.

ruvelo is launching its new Eyewitness moving violation recorder (MVR) which combines class-leading automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) capabilities with high-definition (HD) video to address a series of driving and criminal offences. Designed to be used from a moving vehicle by police and law-enforcement agencies, Eyewitness is a significant extension of Truvelo’s current, static ANPR solution, which uses a camera provided by a partner company. “Eyewitness is a wholly in-house development from Truvelo which will offer an orders-of-magnitude improvement in performance: the use of HD video is a real departure for us,” says David de Beer, production and project manager. “The ANPR/MVR combination will enable use in high-speed situations, providing video-based evidence
Truvelo’s Calvin Hutt with the camera system
of drivers’ speeding violations. Through a live connection to the local vehicle driver licencing authority, it will also allow a range of other offences to be addressed. “These include, from a ‘hitman’ database, outstanding
summonses, warrants for arrest, and stolen/cloned vehicles. Ancillary systems which will support evidence-gathering and improve police officers’ and enforcement officials’ safety include body-worn cameras.” Support will be provided by
Truvelo’s Violation Management System (VMS) which facilitates the acquisition and processing of video-based evidence pertaining to traffic-related offences from all Truvelo roadside and in-vehicle systems. It is part of a comprehensive back office solution which provides police and enforcement authorities with the ability to manage the entire scope of their activities from one central command centre. “The development of Eyewitness was driven by a combination of our own desire to address enforcement market trends and customers’ own requests,” de Beer adds. “There’s demand for a move away from spot enforcement-only solutions and an increasing need for more mobile systems.” Suitable for application in markets worldwide, Eyewitness will be available from Q3 of 2018. ▶ Stand 12.724 www.truvelouk.com
SAEDI’S FLEXIBLE SOLUTION Reducing the cost of replacing damaged or demolished traffic signs is the aim of Saedi’s Augustaflex technology, which is on show here. Even relatively minor impacts can damage street traffic signs or bollards to the point where they have to be replaced, at considerable cost to local authorities. And those signs that do not have to be replaced but sustain damage can spoil a streetscape. Italian company Saedi says that the ability of signs with Augustaflex technology to bend under impact and then spring back to their original position means reduced costs for highway authorities, not to mention reduced levels of damage to the vehicles that collide with the structures. The Augustaflex system uses a stack of disc springs inside the
38
lower base of the sign or bollard. There are other flexible signs n the market, of course, said Saedi’s Olga Boreiko, but the disc springs used in Augustaflex are particularly strong, slip back quickly following impact, and have not previously appeared in street signs. Their strength also means that only the impact of something as substantial as a vehicle will force it to bend. Another of Saedi’s products, the FlexyLight Bollard, has this year been nominated for an Intertraffic Innovation Award. The Augustaflex system has been patented and drastically cuts the costs of maintenance, monitoring and replacement of street signs, says Saedi.

Get smart together at Intertraffic T
he Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and Rijkswaterstaat are co-hosting the Smart Mobility Hall (Hall 8) and have a major stand in the smart mobility networking area, which will be a focal point for their presence during Intertraffic. The Ministry and Rijkswaterstaat are illustrating the country’s commitment to smart mobility in a variety of forms, based on the awareness that current and future mobility issues need to be addressed through solutions that capitalise on the possibilities of IT in traffic, transport and mobility services. In KPMG’s first Autonomous Vehicles Readiness Index, the Netherlands was the clear world leader in autonomous vehicle readiness: ranked 1st in infrastructure, 2nd in consumer acceptance, 3rd in policy and legislation, and 4th in technology and innovation. The country’s aggregated score was 27.73 points, placing it well ahead of other nations in the index. Other factors that made the Netherlands stand out were its heavily used, well-maintained road network, active leadership in enabling connected and automated driving (CAD) deployment, major investments in electric driving and charging infrastructure, as well as targeted investment in deployment of cooperative and connected driving.
Dutch investments in ITS & CAD cover the entire innovation cycle from support to private R&D, test/PoC and pre-deployment projects, to support for acceleration of full commercial deployment. The Netherlands utilises its availability of nationwide cellular coverage, high penetration of LTE subscriptions, densely populated urban-economic centres and vast experience in structural and pragmatic cooperation both by public authorities on different levels (local, regional, national) as well as public private partnerships in various sectors of the economy. Opportunities and test work are strategically focused toward enhancing intelligence and automation in mobility to achieve public policy goals of urban accessibility, sustainability, road safety and economic development. Examples found in the networking area in Hall 8 llustrate the Netherlands’ smart mobility ambitions and most recent developments on, for instance, connected and automated driving, the Partnership Talking Traffic, traffic management, truck platooning and Mobility as a Service (MaaS). The Ministry and Rijkswaterstaat are also hosting a number of presentations, summits and workshops, on a wide variety of topics which are detailed in each Today’s Intertraffic conference and seminar presentations feature in the Daily News. ▶ Stand 8.416

corresponding V2X messages which, in this case are actually Infrastructure-2-Vehicle (I2V) messages. This solution covers up to eight lanes and features a detection range of up to
300 metres. At a typical fully equipped intersection, connected vehicles using the received V2X messages can ‘see’ around the corner into other legs of the intersection. They can pick up vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians, or non V2X equipped vehicles, before they can be detected by traditional on-board sensors like cameras, lidar or the vehicle driver. As V2X communication is rated as one of the key drivers for connected, autonomously driving vehicles, this system enlarges the base of V2X participants where even nonconnected vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians are covered. ▶ Stand 12.814 www.smartmicro.de

Vaisala beats the weather V
aisala is displaying its RWS200, a road weather information system that is playing a crucial role on Finland’s Aurora Smart Road, implemented by the Finnish Transport Agency, and equipped to fit research and development needs in the field of smart transport. Information on the road surface state is crucial for researching and developing automatisation, supported driving and maintenance in Arctic traffic. The RWS200 is intelligently designed, with sophisticated algorithms and smart power management. Its compatibility with various sensors makes it a complete road weather information solution. Vaisala and the Finnish Meteorological institute (FMI) installed the RWS200 station
in Muonio in November 2017 to help to monitor the state of the road surface. The station observes whether the surface is dry, wet, icy or snowy, and provides information on its temperature as well as wind and visibility conditions on the road. Data from the RWS200 is being incorporated in the Finnish Transport Agency's Digitraffic service. The Aurora Smart Road provides an open and versatile test environment for everyone working with R&D and aiming to develop smart traffic, enabling the development of new solutions to fit the needs of smart transport, automated driving and smart road asset control.

EASYLUX SAYS SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL A breakthrough in the size and capabilities of retroreflectometers is being claimed by Brazilian company Easylux with its new Autonomous Mini model. Retroreflectometers have been shrinking steadily over the decades, and a current model usually weighs about 8-10kg. However, Easylux’s model cuts the size and weight of the devices to just 2kg – “completely impossible to imagine two or three years ago”, said company founder Gustavo Felipe Paolillo. The new model is battery-powered and, once laid on a highway marking line will automatically follow it for as long as its battery lasts or a human intervenes. Tests have shown that it can operate nonstop for five hours. It is being shown at Intertraffic for the first time anywhere in the world. A major benefit of the device is that it can be put to work on roadways too hazardous for personnel to venture. A road crew can start the machine off and allow it to proceed by itself, although the company is working on a version that can be controlled from a mobile phone. The size of the device means it frees space in the marking truck for other equipment and it allows it to be moved between sites with minimal effort. Paolillo hopes to have the device in service in the second half of this year.

Traffic-Lines technology makes a clean sweep C
reating and removing lines are a speciality of the German-based TrafficLines. The company’s Marking Machine 1.0, on display, is used for applying thermoplastics in open systems and allows the application of drop-on material. But for removal of lines, the company has just introduced the Duo-Twister, an eco-friendly way to remove rubber abrasion from heavily trafficked areas, especially runways and racetracks. Its patented high-pressure water blasting system operating at nearly 3,500bar is nondestructive – there is no contact with the road or runway surface, as the demonstration video at the company’s stand shows. The Duo-Twister is effectively
a double-suction system based on the successful Twister, a single-suction hydro-blaster for removing road line markings. The two suction heads of the newer Duo-Twister are rotated on an axis in a circular diameter of either 3.1m or 4.2m, depending on the version of machine. The water jet nozzles themselves also rotate, at around 3,000rpm and between 25-50mm above the surface. The water – with no additives – is sent through a filtration system in an attached trailer where the clean water is reused – a closed loop system that saves water. It also packs the filtered particles into a cake for easy removal and disposal. The machine is attached

AIMSUN NEXT AIDS MOBILITY T
he Aimsun team is here at Intertraffic to showcase the latest release of Aimsun Next mobility modelling software, which includes options for modelling air pollutants. This new emissions model measures CO2 and NOx emissions from configurable fleets of European vehicles and will be extended to North American fleets in the future It is available in microscopic and mesoscopic simulations. The latest version of Aimsun Next incorporates the averagespeed London Emissions Model (LEM), developed by Transport for London (TfL). This model is matched to
London driving conditions (central, inner and outer London) and is underpinned by Real-Driving Emissions (RDE) data. It includes on-road and laboratory data of passenger cars (petrol, diesel and petrolhybrid), taxis, buses, and rigid and articulated heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). The averagespeed emission functions for the entire European fleet of old and new, including Euro 6 / VI, light and heavy-duty vehicles, have been developed using a micro-trip approach. Unlike commonly applied average-speed models such as Copert, which forms the basis of the UK Emissions Factor

Toolkit, the functions can be applied to short road links or sections and are reliable at low speeds. Current developments include an Instantaneous Emissions Models (IEM) that relies on Aimsun Next micro trajectory simulations to take into account periods
of acceleration, deceleration, cruising and idling. The Aimsun team believes these advancements will make vehicle emission models more accessible to Aimsun software users and help to clean the air in our cities. ▶ Stand 8.306 www.aimsun.com

preparing for testing the other members of the crash cushion family, which cater for impacts of up to 80kp/h and 100kp/h. Liganov lists a combination of virtues for the company’s product, including low initial cost and cost of maintenance, simplicity of installation and ease of restoration following an impact. Previously, the system was only available in Russia, but the company is keen to find not only European customers but a European partner who can handle some of the production of the crash cushion. It hopes to have negotiations on this during Intertraffic.
