Application areas of cables, wires and other components in traffic technology

Particularly against the backdrop of increasing networking, are Cables, wires and connectors central elements of modern traffic engineering. Indispensable for the operation of various machines, plants and systems, the electronic components are found in numerous areas of applicationwhich is illustrated by the following examples:

Traffic signals and traffic light systems

In almost every urban infrastructure, cables and wires are central to the control and regulation of traffic signals. They ensure that signals are correctly synchronized and enable efficient traffic flow control, which is especially crucial during peak hours or in the event of accidents.

Surveillance and traffic information services

Cables and electronic components are essential for setting up and operating surveillance cameras, traffic flow sensors and information displays. They ensure that relevant data is captured in real time and forwarded to traffic control centers and end users.

Public transport

Whether in buses, streetcars or trains - electronic components are crucial for information display, passenger counting, ticketing systems and vehicle control. They make everyday life easier for passengers and increase the efficiency of the transportation system.

Intelligent transport systems

These systems, which optimize traffic and make it safer, rely on a network of sensors, cameras and control units. Cables and connectors ensure communication and data transfer between these units.

Electromobility and charging stations

With the growth of electromobility, specialized cables and components for charging stations and vehicles have become necessary. They must meet the highest safety standards and provide reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Infrastructure and lighting

In tunnels, on bridges and along roads, cables and electronic components ensure the operation of necessary systems such as lighting. Their smooth functioning is crucial to prevent accidents and to avoid obstructing traffic.

Industry-specific requirements for traffic engineering systems

The smooth functioning of the electrical and electronic systems used every day in traffic technology depends to a large extent on the quality and performance of the cables, wires and other accessories. Malfunctions or failures of these essential connecting elements can not only impair the flow of traffic, but also pose a significant safety risk. Traffic cables and lines therefore meet different requirements, depending on the respective area of application, as the following examples illustrate:

Reliable function: As the components are constantly exposed to high mechanical loads, vibrations and temperature fluctuations, resistance is a key property.
Heat resistance: High temperatures can occur in traffic engineering systems, especially in tunnels or station areas, and cables and lines must function without any loss of performance.
Safety: To minimize the risk of short circuits, fires or other hazards, cables and wires in traffic engineering comply with strict standards.
Flexibility: Components must meet versatile space requirements to adapt to the complex structure and dynamics of modern transportation systems.
Chemical Resistance: In order to function in a wide variety of environments without loss of quality, resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including exhaust fumes, cleaning agents and road salt, is often considered a key requirement.
Efficiency: Systems, especially in intelligent transportation networks, must be designed to minimize energy loss and maximize data flow.

Overall, cables, wires and accessories in traffic engineering must be highest standards, sometimes also specific standards, in order to meet the high requirements of modern transport systems.
