Swarco will have a major presence again at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 and will have its usual two exhibition stands. The latest software solutions for public transport management and smart city traffic management will be shown in Hall 10 on stand 10.103. A premiere will be an LED traffic signal with a digital driver, which allows individual and accurate setting of the light output and the power consumption for all operating modes during the manufacturing process. Parking management and charging infrastruct

PostPullers, a UK company specialising in the manufacture of machines that remove posts from the ground quickly and easily, will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 to feature a manual and powered puller. The PostPuller machine can extract posts with heavy concrete footings in minutes which otherwise would take hours of back-breaking work if done manually. The complete post and footing can then be simply wheeled away.

Vitronic will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to display its full range of roadside equipment for fixed, mobile and autonomous deployment, including the new Enforcement Trailer. The company will also use the event to highlight global successes since its last appearance, as Boris Wagner, Head of International Sales, PoliScan at Vitronic, explains.

Two important safety innovations will be among a range of products and systems on the Iteris stand at Intertraffic Amsterdam. The company developed the first video-based bicycle detection system, SmartCycle, that it claims provides the unique capability of distinguishing bicycles from other vehicles on the road. Through the use of an Iteris enhanced algorithm, SmartCycle has the capability of making streets safer by extending green times for cyclists when the system knows they are present.

Nedap, a global leader in automatic vehicle identification and parking detection technology, will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to launch the uPASS Target, the company’s reply to the growing demand for high-performance UHF readers in applications where it should be possible to automatically identify vehicles and other moving objects using passive RFID tags.

Komoto of Taiwan, which specialises in research and development of traffic LED strobe lighting, will be at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 to debut several new models – the C series, H series, S series and M series.

The spread of a new generation of travel apps such as Citymapper will open up unprecedented opportunities for transport authorities and city planners as much as they help individual travellers minimise their travel times. These apps for mobile phones (and increasingly in-vehicle satellite navigation systems) show users the quickest route to their destination. They take into account real-time traffic congestion on potential routes, delays or otherwise on the trains, metro and mass transit systems and wheth

LeddarTech’s detection and ranging technology can be integrated into standard automotive components such as headlamps, rear lamps or side view mirrors, to enable optimised advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) sensing solutions. The company’s optical detection technology can be incorporated into integrated circuits and uses semiconductor light sources such as infrared emitters and pulsed laser diodes. With a range of 150m and above, multi-segment detection and a field of view from 9° to 180°, Leddar sa

A study by the US Federal Highway Administration’s Highways for Life has found a small but consistent reductions in mean and 85 percentile speeds on dangerous bends through the use of Tapco’s BlinkerChevron dynamic curve warning and guidance system (DCWGS) instead of static warning signs. The system's detects oncoming vehicles up to 90m (300ft) from the curve and will trigger the flashing LEDs on the signs if the vehicle’s speed exceed a predetermined level to warn the driver of the dangerous curves with e

Italian company Meccanica Fadini, a specialist in bollards, gate automation and barriers for perimeter security, will launch its new Talos bollard at Intertraffic Amsterdam. The presence of a quick release junction connector improves security standards, facilitating and speeding up electrical connections and making the device quick and easy to install and service.

Belgian company Flow will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to showcase some compelling new features on its Flowcontrol traffic management platform. The company claims it is the world’s first traffic optimisation solution where both sensor- based traffic monitoring and floating car data operate seamlessly. Flow says the platform addresses many of today’s urban mobility needs, such as parking guidance; traffic management during roadworks or events; as well as bike or pedestrian counting.

In late 2015 MetroCount released its second bike counter, the MC5620. Building on the successes of the world-renowned MC5600 portable vehicle traffic counter, as visitors to the company’s stand at Intertraffic Amsterdam will see, the MC5620 has now been refined to achieve the highest degree of sensitivity required for detecting bicycle tyres. The company says this system has been proven to detect cyclists with 99% accuracy in video tests conducted in real-life conditions.

On 5 April, at the InnovationLAB at Intertraffic Amsterdam, HR Groep will launch Intelligent Public Space (IPS), the gateway to smart solutions and applications in public space.
