Luxembourg has opted for Kistler’s KiTraffic Plus weigh-in-motion system as it implements new commercial vehicle enforcement to meet the European Union requirements.
The WIM installation is located on the A6 motorway about 2km from the border with Belgium. Several hundred meters of the road surface were renewed ahead of time so there would be no need to replace the sensors after a few years because of scheduled maintenance. The complete KiTraffic Plus system weighs trucks and delivery vans without interrupting motorway traffic, providing the basis for efficient weight enforcement.
British Railways has big plans. Trains on the first 220 km from London Euston Station to Birmingham could be travelling at a speed of 360 km/h (225 mph) in as little as 10 years. The earthworks required for this are to be completed by as early as 2025. The project is considered one of the largest and most ambitious infrastructure projects in recent British history. It must meet the highest possible construction quality standards and evolve over the course of the project - setting new standards today and for tomorrow. The deployment of innovative BOMAG technologies and machines is therefore logical and consistent.
Siemens is supplying an intelligent transportation system for the Polish city of Poznan after winning a near-€15 million contract from the Poznan transportation authority ZDM (Zarzad Dróg Miejskich w Poznaniu).
Real-time traffic data from more than 200 measurement points, such as intersections, parking lots and public transport, will be collected in the city’s traffic management centre, evaluated and processed using Sitraffic Concert.
The Siemens system, set to be commissioned in spring 2015, will pr
