Urban intersections are among the most complex elements of a road network. As traffic patterns shift throughout the day, the challenge lies in coordinating multiple signal groups and synchronizing the flow across different rings or sub-intersections. This complexity is particularly pronounced when inner lanes connect multiple rings within the same intersection. These inner lanes act as the hidden arteries of traffic flow—critical to the entire system's performance.
Breaking the Gridlock: Overcoming Roadblocks to Large-Scale deployment of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility. The technology exists, yet connected mobility isn't everywhere. Why?
Tunnels are essential for safe and efficient traffic flow. However, they can only fulfill this role if maintenance is properly managed. Commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat, SWARCO has been responsible since this summer for maintaining two key Dutch tunnels: the Koning Willem-Alexandertunnel in Maastricht and the Salland-Twentetunnel in Nijverdal. Two locations, hundreds of kilometers apart, but managed under a single framework: the KWASTT project.
Twenty-five years, in the world of technology and public transport, are not simply an anniversary. They are proof of resilience, evolution and, above all, mutual trust. The collaboration between SWARCO and TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) is one of those stories that are not born by chance and that, above all, do not last so long without solid foundations.
