We were one of a few ITS World Congress exhibitors showcasing brand new technology. While much of the industry has contracted amid concerns about the global economy and supply chain issues, we have continued innovating to connect the dots of the mobility revolution. We’re combining innovation with physical products and digital solutions that focus on safety, reducing emissions and improving quality of life.
Poor air pollutes our health and has a negative impact on the quality of life in our cities. Many cities are therefore working on solutions to improve air quality. One of these is Clean Air Zones (CAZ), which reduce traffic-related emissions in cities. We spoke to Wilke Reints, Managing Director Yunex Traffic UK about how the solution is improving air quality in our cities. We talked to our UK Managing Director, Wilke Reints (WR), about how clean air zones are driving improvements in air quality in our cities.
According to recent WHO figures, 99% of the world's population breathes air that exceeds WHO guideline levels. The good news is that 6000 cities in 110 countries are now measuring air levels and want to take action. One area they are taking a closer look at is road traffic. After all, cars and other vehicles emit a large proportion of the emissions that pollute our air. What can cities do about it? For example, they can orchestrate traffic based on the needs of the environment. And that's exactly what Environmental Traffic Management can do. Let's take a closer look!
From pedestrian crossings to clean air zones, ITS technology continues to help transport authorities make their road networks and vehicle fleets more intelligent, efficient, and safer. And not only does the latest digital technology play a key role in addressing and minimising the impact of vehicle emissions on our roads, it can also reduce the environmental impact of the necessary roadside infrastructure itself. Meet FUSION!
With our innovative transport solutions, we help cities, road authorities and mobility providers achieve more sustainable mobility. But that's not all we do to take responsibility for our planet. Martin Andrews, Head of Product Management at Yunex Traffic in the UK tells us in an interview how sustainability is integrated into our processes.
For greater awareness of more sustainable mobility, the European Commission launched European Mobility Week (EMW) in 2002. The initiative invites municipalities and cities across Europe to introduce their citizens to the full range of sustainable mobility locally. This year, the European Mobility Week invites you to experience sustainable mobility from many perspectives with lots of events all over the continent. Let’s take a closer look!
Yunex Traffic, a global leader in intelligent traffic systems, today announced it will unveil revolutionary, new advanced traffic controller, Blade, at ITS World Congress 2022 in Los, Angeles, CA, September 18-22.
In September 2021 Transport for London (TfL) had opened a new rapid charging hub at Glass Yard in Woolwich – K:Port. Our Yunex Traffic team in the UK was at the heart of the project developing, deploying and servicing the hub. After one year in operation, we look back and reveal how the EV hub concept could pave the way towards a comprehensive EV charging infrastructure around the globe.
In Jerusalem, Israel the new Route 16 highway was recently opened to traffic. A large part of the highway runs through tunnels that are operated in an automated, digital and safe way thanks to software from Yunex Traffic.
