Summit & Demonstration Programme can play an
important role in bringing the industry together
– from low tech to high tech – providing them
with the right tools, information and opportunities
for cooperation with other specialists, to stay
ahead of the game,” says de Winter.
Startup focus
Increasingly, smaller, more nimble firms
are taking slices of the traffic technology
market with their innovative solutions
to traffic problems encountered
worldwide. It is because of this
that a section of the floor space
in Amsterdam will be devoted to
startups. Making its debut at
Intertraffic Amsterdam 2018,
ITSUP was such a resounding
success that it will be reappearing
at the 2020 show, bigger and
better than ever.

The exhibition
floor attracts tens
of thousands of
visitors
Today’s need for flexible
and cost-efficient
systems to
communicate with road
users is enormous. The
traffic sector must meet
enormous pressure from
the public and politicians to
produce solutions that are
environmentally friendly.
These solutions need to be
sustainable with low or
zero CO2emissions.
The Triplesign prismatic
VMS does not consume any
power while displaying
information, unlike VMS
based on LED technology,
which require constant and
significant power in order
to display messages.
Triplesign VMS only
needs power to change its
message and to
communicate with a traffic
management centre or
connected vehicles.
Average power consumption
in standby, ready for
command, mode is
therefore only 1.5W. Even
in northern Europe with its
very low solar irradiation in
the winter it is now
possible to establish a
reliable complete Solar VMS
network of standalone
installations meaning zero
carbon foot print form the
power consumption.
Compared to LED VMS
the installation risks are
also drastically decreased
for workers. No cable
excavation is needed,
installation time is hours
instead of days. Overall
cost of installation is 90%
less than for LED VMS,
enabling new applications,
creating the smart and
sustainable traffic
management system of
the future.

“Startups are significant contributors to the
innovative strength of the traffic technology and
mobility scene,” says de Winter. “To facilitate a
flying start for potential game changers we
introduced ITSUP in 2018 as a dedicated startup
event with 50 newcomers jumped at the chance
last time to connect with future partners and
investors right on the spot.
“In 2020 we can offer this platform to an even
larger number of new kids on the block. ITSUP
will enable them to introduce and demonstrate
their solutions and take part in business pitches
and challenges.”
