How do you create a safe and liveable city, with increasing pressure from traffic to the city? ST&D Apeldoorn B.V. and Nedap Identification Systems offer a total solution for automating and regulating traffic flows to city centers. These two business partners have been working together for over 15 years, which has resulted in lots of proven installations in the Dutch market. Thanks to the combined knowledge and expertise, ST&D and Nedap offer effective and innovative solutions for regulating vehicle access and vehicle flows in many Dutch cities.
With almost 9 million passenger cars and 2 million commercial vehicles, Dutch cities are facing large traffic volumes. The pressure on traffic flows is increasing, especially in inner cities. More and more vehicles need to access the city centers to work, live, supply or do some shopping. This results in congestion of unregulated traffic flows in the (often) narrow streets. As a result, the quality of life and economic attractiveness of a city can deteriorate rapidly. Municipalities face a challenge to keep traffic flowing in a safe and hassle-free manner and to ensure that only authorized vehicles have access to the inner city. In addition cities are searching for solutions to easily manage all the vehicle user groups that need to access the city. Cities are looking for a solution to tailor the access rights to when and why they need to enter the city, to reduce unnecessary traffic in the city.
More and more municipalities are choosing to restrict access of vehicles to areas in the city center to avoid unnecessary traffic and to create an accessible and liveable city. However, certain zones must remain easily accessible for, for example residents, emergency services, suppliers and other authorized vehicles. But how do you manage this? ST&D Apeldoorn B.V. and Nedap Identification Systems have been working together for many years and offer a total solution to easily automate and regulate traffic flows to the restricted areas in the city.
