Traffic

Full-scale wireless solutions for traffic control

Traffic managers at major cities, traffic control departments and police departments use the technology for traffic data
acquisition, automatic incident detection and intersection management to enhance mobility and ensure safety. By using
wireless last-mile connections that link the monitoring equipment with the management system, expensive wiring
costs are avoided, mobility is strongly improved and performances are strongly enhanced.

Traffic control Crossroads analysis

Traffic management technology can be used for a number • Detecting the presence of vehicles
of applications: ramp metering, travel time calculation , dy- • Counting the amount of vehicles
namic speed indication, queue tail monitoring, congestion waiting at crossroads
monitoring, tunnel access control, ventilation control re- • Measuring the speed of vehicles
routing , VMS-control, dynamic queue indication during road
works , dynamic lane opening or closing etc.

Citymesh last-mile link

Citymesh works together with partners such as Trafficon,
Macq Electronique and Siemens to create a dynamic traf-
fic management system with the help of video detection Accident detection
and wireless technology. Citymesh deploys the last-mile • Detecting stopped vehicles
