Open SCADA architectures: Denmark’s multi-vendor traffic signal platform

Cross Zlín | Booth 01.307

Czech firm Cross Zlín delivered the eDaptiva supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platform to Denmark’s Road Directorate (DRD), with the system going live in summer 2025. The deployment — the first nationwide implementation of eDaptiva — will ultimately integrate more than 300 traffic signal controllers from multiple manufacturers using the Open Communication Interface for Road Traffic Control Systems (OCIT) open protocol. Delivered as software as a service (SaaS) via cloud, the architecture separates the central control layer from field equipment, reducing vendor lock-in and enabling independent evolution of both the platform and field hardware.

Digital roads, safer futures: integrated control for traffic and tunnel infrastructure

Evon | Booth 01.456

Austrian automation software firm Evon will exhibit at Intertraffic alongside DMS – Displays & Mobility Solutions, presenting use cases for its XAMControl platform in road and tunnel environments. A current example is the Digital Tunnel project for Austrian motorway operator Asfinag, in which the platform supports realistic simulation of tunnel processes — including virtual control of fire detection, emergency call systems, and actuators — without disrupting live operations. Asfinag has also implemented the world’s largest OPC UA installation using Evon’s platform for data-driven traffic management. Daniel Seewald, authorised officer and head of tunnel and traffic infrastructure at Evon, says: “Smart traffic and tunnel infrastructure emerges where integrated systems enhance safety while enabling sustainable operations.”

Dynamic lane operations: radar-based AID for managed motorways

Navtech Radar | Stand 02.118

UK-based Navtech Radar makes the case for integrating automatic incident detection (AID) technology into managed lane operations, including dynamic hard shoulder running (HSR). Its ClearWay solution uses 360-degree long-range radar to monitor motorways continuously, detecting stopped vehicles, pedestrians, and debris in real time and remaining operational in poor visibility conditions. The system integrates with video management platforms, can auto-direct PTZ cameras to incident locations, and connects to the wider traffic management system to trigger warning signs or lane closures automatically. Research by the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) has found that properly designed HSR schemes can temporarily increase road capacity by up to 25%.

Detection solutions for safer roadways: multi-technology ITS systems

TagMaster | Booth 05.134

Swedish firm TagMaster presents a multi-technology approach to road user detection combining video AI, wireless in-road sensors, radar, and deep learning-based automatic incident detection (AID). At intersections, Sensys Networks’ MultiSens Intersection fuses video AI with geomagnetic wireless sensors to detect all road user types including vulnerable road users (VRUs), regardless of weather or lighting conditions. On highways, RTMS Echo radar monitors up to 12 lanes simultaneously to support variable speed limit systems and ramp metering — a combination that produced a 31% reduction in peak-time crashes in Melbourne. Citilog’s AID system, also highlighted, detected a stopped truck in the Vuache Tunnel in the French Alps during a 2025 fire, enabling evacuation before the blaze spread.

Global road safety: mobile ANPR technology for real-world enforcement

MAV Systems | Booth 05.428

UK-based MAV Systems will present MAV Mobile, its next-generation mobile automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) platform, at Intertraffic. The system operates while driving or stationary across a range of urban and highway environments, supporting law enforcement, civil enforcement, and smart parking operators. Field testing identified more than 20% of vehicles operating without valid insurance, tax, or registration in suburban locations, rising to over 35% in more urbanised areas. MAV Mobile integrates GhostPlate technology to counter plate manipulation and AiAccurate AI-driven multi-read logic to reduce false positives. The platform supports accurate vehicle identification across more than 150 countries. “By helping authorities identify risk earlier and act smarter, MAV Mobile contributes to safer roads, stronger compliance, and greater public confidence worldwide,” says Andy Humphries, managing director at MAV Systems.

Beyond technology: integrated end-to-end traffic enforcement

Vitronic | Booth 01.108

German firm Vitronic will showcase an expanded enforcement portfolio at Intertraffic, covering speed and red-light enforcement, section speed control, mobile phone and seatbelt detection, manoeuvre and lane violations, and railroad crossing and crosswalk monitoring. New products on show include the Poliscan Enforcement Bar — which transforms police light bars into multifunctional sensor devices with AI-powered ANPR and radar-based speed measurement — and the latest generation City Design Pillar, capable of monitoring up to six traffic lanes simultaneously with a modular, configurable design. Vitronic also offers a Traffic Safety as a Service (TSaaS) model, enabling authorities to outsource their entire enforcement programme including system provisioning, incident validation, ticket issuing, and fine collection.

GNSS tolling in France: satellite-based road user charging built on connectivity

T-Systems | Booth 03.204

Germany’s T-Systems, which brings more than 25 years of experience in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based tolling, has delivered the first operational GNSS tolling schemes in France, in the Alsace and Grand Est regions. The infrastructure-light, distance-based charging system integrates certified European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) providers, ensuring compatibility with existing on-board units already used by road users across Europe. A modular architecture separates core tolling functions — distance calculation, charging logic, and enforcement support — from customer-facing EETS provider services, supporting operational resilience and enabling service competition. Mobile apps and electronic ticketing extend access to occasional users without dedicated hardware.

Beyond enforcement: the expanding role of weigh-in-motion technology

Cestel | Booth 01.227

Slovenian firm Cestel uses its Intertraffic presence to explore the broader applications of weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology beyond direct enforcement. Its SiWIM bridge WIM system has become the world’s first to receive OIML R134 certification. In Serbia, Cestel carried out 17 two-week bridge WIM measurement campaigns across the country in just three months, made possible by the portability of its bridge-mounted sensors, which attach to structures with just two bolts. In Slovenia, bridge WIM data is integrated with a national exceptional transport permits database, enabling police to verify compliance in real time. In the Netherlands, bridge WIM systems were deployed at short notice during a motorway bridge renovation where gross vehicle weight limits were imposed for structural safety reasons.

Layered weight enforcement: combining WIM, direct enforcement and static scales

Quarterhill | Booth 01.116

Canadian firm Quarterhill sets out the case for a layered approach to weight compliance that combines in-lane weigh-in-motion (WIM) direct enforcement, WIM screening, and legacy static scales. Using in-lane WIM, citations can be issued automatically from sensor data alone without requiring vehicles to exit traffic — enabling continuous enforcement across larger areas with minimal staffing increases. However, the company notes that dynamic weighing carries inherent accuracy limitations compared to static scales, and that legal frameworks vary widely across jurisdictions. A layered strategy allows clearly overweight vehicles to be cited automatically, borderline cases to be directed for secondary inspection, and compliant vehicles recently passed at static facilities to bypass further checks, reducing unnecessary delays.

Outpacing change in modern mobility: predictive, data-driven transport operations

Asura Technologies | Booth 05.108

Israeli firm Asura Technologies argues that predictive, automated, data-driven capabilities have become a baseline requirement for transport operators facing accelerating regulatory and technological change. The company supports operators with AI-powered video analytics and camera-agnostic software, with deployments including the modernisation of Hungary’s and Indonesia’s national highway toll networks. In the US, Asura has introduced automated monitoring to more than 500 parking sites and helped over 700 operations become more data-driven. The company advocates a progressive adoption path — from accurate data collection through modular system integration to full predictive analytics — developed in close collaboration with operators.

A new benchmark in wheel load measurement

Haenni | Booth 01.101

Swiss firm Haenni presents the WL 401, a redesigned strip sensor for its range of portable wheel load scales. Built for mechanical robustness and long-term measurement stability, the WL 401 features a larger sensor profile, an active measuring length of over 1m for improved force distribution, and a constant installation height ensuring uniform load introduction across its full length. Upgraded electronics — including a new analogue signal acquisition system and redesigned data processing — deliver stable, reproducible results even at very low vehicle speeds, where accurate measurement is technically demanding. A built-in status LED supports quick operational checks in the field.

High-speed weight enforcement advances in Southeast Asia

Intercomp | Booth 01.211

US-based Intercomp reports growing adoption of its strain-gauge strip sensors for high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM) enforcement across Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, sensors have been installed in more than 40 HS-WIM lanes across Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan, with further deployments at Pelindo Multi Terminal — where eight WIM lanes support port logistics — and the Borneo Indobara mining site. In Thailand, more than 30 HS-WIM lanes have been installed on provincial roads for pre-selection, with authorities now preparing to upgrade to full direct enforcement. Intercomp’s technology is deployed across more than 50 countries, with its calibration stability, mechanical construction, and measurement accuracy at all traffic speeds cited as key factors in its adoption by national WIM programmes.

Cycling detection, accessible signals, and on-demand acoustic orientation

RTB Group | Booth 01.219

German firm RTB Group presents a portfolio of urban safety and accessibility technologies at Intertraffic. Its Topo.bike system uses radar technology to detect cyclists and deliver precise data for traffic planning and infrastructure management, with work underway to extend detection to e-scooters and other micromobility users. Bella, the latest generation of acoustic signal devices for traffic lights, separates safety and comfort firmware to maximise reliability while enabling flexible local configuration, with remote maintenance and diagnostics reducing the need for on-site servicing. The Loc.id system extends acoustic orientation beyond traffic lights to crossings, public spaces, construction sites, and public transport, activating signals on demand to keep urban environments both safe and quiet.

Dynamic speed signage cuts costs and improves urban road safety

Triplesign | Booth 01.519

Swedish firm Triplesign offers dynamic traffic signage designed to operate independently of the electrical grid, without requiring invasive civil works. The infrastructure-light design enables rapid installation and relocation, with the company citing lifecycle cost reductions of 50–80% compared with conventional grid-connected or LED-based variable message signs. A pilot within the Smart Urban Traffic Zones (SUTZ) programme in Stockholm tested context-dependent speed management on a busy urban street, with AI-enabled cameras monitoring pedestrian volumes and transmitting data via an API to variable message signs, adjusting speed limits in near real time. Results showed overall speeds were lower during the test period when reduced limits were displayed, and a similar installation has since been implemented in Nacka, Sweden.
