Highways Voices is back in the RAI for Intertraffic Amsterdam, touring the huge exhibition and conference sessions to find out more about the future of transport.

These podcasts are brought to you thanks to the support of SWARCO, Westcotec, AGD Systems and TRL.

Today we find out how we can learn from the Dutch in increasing active travel and how

Westcotec’s close following warning system is a direct response to collision data and customer demand, not a solution looking for a problem.

We learn how freight automation is already solving real-world logistics challenges, while MAV Systems discuss how advanced ANPR solutions can be used in a variety of solutions around enforcement, parking and EV charging, and DELTABLOC explain their award-winning shift into fibre-optic sensing demonstrates how physical roadside assets are doubling as data-rich ITS platforms.

  2. Olly Samways – Sales Director at Westcotec
  3. Nourie Boraie – Einride - Global Policy Strategy at Einride and Richard Bishop – Principal at Bishop Consulting
