THE MICROCOMPUTER IN TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT

DE MICROCOMPUTER IN HET VERKEER EN VERVOER

The introduction of the transistor and the chip enabled the microcomputer to be made. The use of the microcomputer became widespread and it was found to have applications in many disciplines. The use of the microcomputer in traffic and transport is presented: as a means for traffic control at junctions, signalizing on motorways, warning systems for icy roads or fog, and for application in traffic and transport systems. Future applications are expected. Automated route indication and driver information systems are examples. (TRRL)
