Das Projekt wurde zusammen mit der VR AG durchgeführt. Das Unternehmen mit Sitz in Schlieren kann auf eine Erfolgsgeschichte von über 30 Jahre im Bereich Lichtsignalanlagen und Steuergeräte zurückblicken. Die Partnerschaft verfolgt das Ziel, die Datengewinnung modularer und nachhaltiger zu gestalten. Wir verbinden Schweizer Qualität und hohe Vertrauenswürdigkeit mit der Lösung für digitale Zukunftsanforderungen. Beide Parteien können ihr Produktportfolio für einen nahtlosen und intelligenten Verkehrsfluss vervollständigen.
Smooth installation of the TAPS system
Previously, similar projects were equipped with induction loops. The installation and maintenance of the induction loops are associated with high costs. In the Horgen project, the sensor was installed by drilling a core hole in the ground that is flush with the road surface. The electronics are located in a replaceable, potted core housing. If necessary, the electronics can be replaced within a few minutes without core drilling. Communication between the sensor and the gateway is wireless, thus avoiding the need for costly laying of cables and induction loops.
What does traffic management software development bring to the operator?
By installing 2 sensors, vehicles can be detected selectively and reliably and the traffic flow can be measured. Sensitivity of the sensors as well as their time tolerance are easily configured via the cloud. The system is flexibly expandable with additional gateways and repeaters to increase the distance between detectors and customized control units. Data can be obtained via a variety of interfaces, including digital outputs on the gateway or via REST interface in the cloud.
An additional reason for selecting TAPS sensors is that it is more difficult to carry out structural extensions or refurbishments on bridges, as it is preferable to carry out work that does not affect the structural engineering.
So far, over 120,000 detections have been counted since installation. This means that Fährestrasse in Horgen is one of the busiest roads, where the TAPS system can now play an important role in traffic control.
