Description

The Technical Physics and Traffic and Transport departments of KIVI hereby invite you to visit the traffic centre of Rijkswaterstaat:

"Traffic better regulated and with less environmental pollution by Rijkswaterstaat"

The roads under the management of Rijkswaterstaat are continuously monitored for traffic intensity with a view to regulating traffic flows, preventing or monitoring traffic jams, in particular preventing notorious rear-end collisions, monitoring environmental aspects and limiting economic damage. To this end, it uses cameras, induction loops in the asphalt for vehicle detection, matrix signs, metering lights at motorway entrances and the opening of rush-hour lanes, among others.

Traffic management covers all these aspects but also deals with the question of the need to build new roads or make better use of existing ones.
The field of measurement and control technology is an important discipline in traffic monitoring and regulation.

During this visit, one can admire the impressive spectacle of the large screens that serve to visualise traffic intersections and highways online. During the tour, the working methods of Rijkswaterstaat will be explained.

Parking is available at the traffic control centre.
Legitimation required !!!
