Discover our Software Modules for this purpose
Macq supports cities and road (construction) managers to foster safer, smoother, and more sustainable environments through our advanced range of smart cameras, software applications, and data solutions.
Our cameras detect congestion by monitoring speed, travel time, and/or traffic density, which combined with our software to control variable message signs to warn drivers and lower speed limits, can help in securing the tail of traffic jams and mitigating rear-end collisions. These features are versatile and applicable across various aspects of Dynamic Traffic Management, facilitating enhanced traffic flow and overall road safety.
Additionally, our cameras detect rat runners based on their travel time along specific routes, which combined with our Mobility Analytics tools, can help to create a better understanding of the problem.
All collected data is seamlessly integrated into our mobility dashboard, serving as a powerful policy and communication tool. This dashboard facilitates informed decision-making and enables evaluation of measures, events, and roadworks for continuous improvement.
Macq helped improve the traffic flow in the Flemish region
The Flemish traffic management centre (Vlaams Verkeer Centrum) based in Antwerp. Macq has installed a large number of systems in this centre to manage tunnels, collect traffic data and monitor the Antwerp ring road.
The Flemish region was looking to increase traffic fluidity & safety in its roads and tunnels. The systems installed by Macq automate equipment operation in Antwerp’s tunnels and ring road. They also collect traffic data and transmit it to the Vlaams Verkeer Centrum. Further, the Flemish region has entrusted Macq to implement a dynamic management system for its major roads surrounding the city of Antwerp. VMS and dynamic signs are managed from the control centre and control traffic flow on a lane by lane basis. It informs drivers of any accidents, traffic jams and roadworks.
Since the implementation of this system on the roads of the Flemish region, clear improvements have been observed in terms of traffic fluidity and driver information.
