MAV Systems has introduced the AiQ Lite as a lower-cost, lower-complexity automatic number plate recognition camera aimed at the practical realities of parking, enforcement and traffic management.
AGD Systems is proud to have supported the delivery of a pioneering pedestrian crossing at New College Worcester (NCW), a national residential school for blind and vision impaired young people.
Agne Vaitekenaite looks at why transport as a sector, has for too long been shaped by a narrow set of perspectives.
Paula Claytonsmith looks at how trust is now the make-or-break factor for intelligent transport and infrastructure technology.
Europe’s flagship transport research and innovation gathering, the Transport Research Arena (TRA), returned this year with a flourish in Budapest.
Find out what happened at Traffex 2026 and most importantly, the winners of the 2026 @ITSNow Innovation Awards.
The next phase of innovation will be judged less by pilots and promises than by whether it can be deployed at scale, across whole networks and with benefits that road users can actually feel.
As Traffex 2026 opens its doors this week, there is a palpable sense that the highways and mobility sector has reached an inflection point.
Every 1st of April, the mobility sector does what it does best, it experiments. Not always with products or pilots, but with humour.
2026 marks a clear inflection point in how the UK highways sector defines, manages and regulates traffic signs and road markings.
This article explores how intelligent systems can strengthen safety and resilience across increasingly complex transport networks.
As cities and regions evolve, mobility systems are being reshaped by rapid technological change, shifting user expectations and the urgent need for more sustainable, inclusive transport.

Technologies have been used for many years to passively monitor activity on the highway, however over the years additional features have been added to assist in actively managing traffic, these range from informing users about current conditions, so that they can make their own decisions, such as automatically warning drivers of incidents using roadside variable message signs, through to compelling users to modify their driving, such as by implementing variable speed limits or by using enforcement cameras etc.
Ever seen rectangular, diamond or chevron black lines in the asphalt surface of a road and wondered what they are?
Many people assume that traffic signals emerged alongside the rise of motor vehicles, yet the foundations of modern signalisation were laid decades earlier. Long before roads were dominated by cars, engineers and scientists were grappling with the challenge of how to communicate movement, warning and control, at a distance.
This article introduces the key concepts of aspects, phases, stages, streams, and cycle time, and explains how they work together to manage traffic safely and efficiently.
