Lindsay Transportation Solutions will attend the 2016 ITS World Congress Melbourne with a focus on the Road Zipper system for ITS applications. A moveable barrier system that quickly reconfigures the road to mitigate congestion, while providing positive barrier protection between opposing lanes of traffic, it can be used to create flexible bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors that can be returned to traffic during non-commute periods to maximize the full use of the roadway.

For the first time at an ITS World Congress in Australia, Swarco will present its capabilities in road safety and intelligent traffic management solutions. A feature of the stand will be the company’s brilliant energy-efficient LED-based variable message signs. Adaptive traffic control and smart mobility software platforms will also be on display.

Jenoptik’s Traffic Solutions Division will use the ITS World Congress Melbourne to present a range of traffic enforcement systems which are active in Australia and around the world: the company aims to demonstrate how it is improving roads, journeys and communities with 30,000 cameras operational in over 80 countries and with 480 staff working on traffic solutions and more than 50 million plates read every day.

Newton’s first law of motion states that: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. While the concept moving bodies has a rather obvious analogy with transport, the law can equally be applied to transportation as a whole – that everything stays the same until an external force acts up on it.
