Green lights save time, fuel, CO2 and noise pollution

Dynniq helps manage the energy and mobility flows in our society through advanced technological solutions. Its mission is to enable people, data and goods to reach their destinations safely, sustainably and efficiently. Its solutions enable the development and efficient use of mobility and energy flows that create a vital and strong infrastructure.

Rapidly increasing mobility makes it necessary to manage and monitor traffic flows better. Dynniq, a pioneer in mobility and energy solutions, was looking for a way to improve the flow of trucks driving in convoy.

A team of experts with knowledge and experience in system architecture and mobile solutions started developing the GreenFlow for Trucks app. The app informs drivers about the advisory speed and the status of the traffic lights. If drivers follow this advice, the vehicle has a good chance of not having to stop at a red light.

The app also requests priority at traffic lights at junctions. This priority extends the green light or starts a green light earlier. This makes it possible to achieve a more efficient flow of trucks, so they put less strain on the environment.

Support for Truck Mode was also developed. In Truck Mode, truck drivers enter the length, width and load of the vehicle they are about to drive. These settings affect the priority requests at the intelligent traffic lights (iVRIs).

Requesting priority green lights for freight traffic saves time, fuel and CO2 and reduces noise pollution. It is therefore better for the environment and reduces the risk of accidents.

Digitising and automating (goods) transport delivers direct gains and value for everyone in the chain, right through to the consumer. The goal for the coming years is clear: to roll out the technology across Europe and make it standard in trucks. To achieve this, all existing traffic lights will have to be replaced by intelligent traffic lights (iVRIs). A fine ambition!
