Traffic centre Rijkswaterstaat
Description
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 engineering is an important discipline in traffic monitoring and regulation.
This visit offers the opportunity to view 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.
KIVI's Departments of Technical Physics and Traffic and Transport cordially invite you to this excursion. Max. 25 participants so register soon!
Participation is free of charge.
