Karrus Offering a Technology for Road Traffic Monitoring and Management

http://www.bulletins-electroniques.com/actualites/64304.htm

Since last April, a decision aiding technology for road traffic management has been operational on the southern Grenoble ringroad. Engineered by Karrus, a recent startup created in February 2010 by Denis Jacquet who did his thesis at INRIA, the technology was implemented with the Highways Authority of the Center-East region (Direction interdépartementale des routes Centre-Est). The data from sensors placed at strategic locations within the road infrastructures is processed in real-time and populates mathematical traffic flow models. The data is used to optimize vehicle flow by calculating the speed limit to set on the variable road signs, or the duration of the red lights on the access ramps.

One of the features of the engineered solution is that it uses wireless sensors, making the system more reliable and less expensive in terms of maintenance. Above all, it provides real-time data. An agreement has been signed by the Center-East Highways Authority, INRIA and the Isère General Council to create a joint platform called Grenoble Traffic Lab. The data collected in Grenoble could be used to populate other experiments and demonstrations. "Now Karrus is offering software components able to adapt to the systems installed at our customers. Within a few years, we will be marketing the entire platform," explained Denis Jacquet.
