At the Intertraffic 2018, Siemens was showcasing a whole range of pioneering smart solutions, setting the trend for road traffic technology: Among the highlights, Vehicle2x was part of the growing "Internet of Things". Sitraffic ESCoS Road Side Units provides key data for a more precise picture of the current traffic situation. This enables more efficient traffic control, a significant reduction in accident numbers and an even greater cut in emissions than possible up to now. Tunnel management offers road users and tunnel operators a maximum of safety, system reliability and sustainability. The controller Sitraffic sX can adapt optimally to every city, from small and smart, to complex and challenging. Integrated Mobility allows easier and more comfortable travel even across different modes of transportation. Innovative start-up companies from Siemens next 47 had also shown their ideas for future mobility.

With the arc fault protection system DEHNshort from the company Dehn + Söhne, Siemens is expanding its range for certified panel builders. The system for the Sivacon S8 low-voltage switchboard detects arc faults already as they occur and extinguishes them quickly and safely. This protects against personal injury and damage to assets. The switchboard can resume operation immediately. The system reduces longer downtimes and related subsequent costs. Siemens makes the Sivacon S8 available to its panel builders, so-called Sivacon Technology Partners, per license for further expansion.
