The technology developed by Bitcarrier represents a breakthrough in Advanced Traffic Information and Management Systems. The unbeatable price of the solution is an opportunity for road operators to invest in a cutting-edge technology that is rapidly amortized and that is paving the way to the future of ITS in years to come.

The quality of the information provided by Roadsolver and the speed at which is delivered to the road operator’s Traffic Management Centre (TMC) allows for a better, faster and more efficient decision-making as well as anticipation of congestion problems.
With Roadsolver, the TMC is able to detect accidents or congestion in real time and to act promptly informing travelers about travel times and accidents on variable message signs, merging traffic onto additional emergency lanes or tolls, sending maintenance services to manage the situation or reducing speed limits. Moreover, the results of the actions implemented can be checked instantly so that it is possible to assess their effectiveness. Finally, with the implementation of the congestion and incident alerts, the TMCs are able to predict and mitigate congestion.

Bitcarrier “highway” sensors only need AC power and GSM coverage to perform the process of data collection. They can be easily used on existing infrastructure in the road, for instance, on dynamic message panels, on gantries, in tollbooths, or on specific poles at the roadside. There is no need to close the highway to execute roadworks, so road operators save time and money. The configuration of the sensors and the functionalities of the platform is easy and fast. The maintenance of the solution is also easy and very affordable.

Roadsolver is an online solution easy to integrate with Traffic Management Centres (TMC) and complementary to other existing technologies (e.g. loops, cameras). Moreover, the information can be shown in different communication sources (web, mobile, variable message signs) so that road operators can make it available for travelers.

With Roadsolver, road operators have a global outlook of their network in real time. They can spot how cars are circulating, where there is congestion, where an accident has taken place, if a toll passage needs more booths to be opened in one direction, etc.

Traffic optimization is possible thanks to the real-time information and the congestion and incident alerts of the Roadsolver platform. The reduction of travel times and congestion is the direct effect of traffic optimization.

As there is less congestion on the roads and traffic flows smoothly, less fuel is consumed and there are less greenhouse effect gases in the atmosphere. Therefore, road operators are contributing to environmental sustainability.

By displaying the information of travel times on dynamic message signs, on a website or even in mobile phones, road operators are providing value-added information for travelers which is innovative, useful and reliable.
