  • Intelligent traffic control installation (iVRI)

    Municipality of Amsterdam

    This algorithm has a low impact. Because the smart traffic lights are able to 'recognise' traffic, it becomes possible to prioritise certain traffic flows over others.

  • Optimising waste collection

    Municipality of Amsterdam

    This algorithm has a low impact. Through weighing data and sensor data, we know how full a waste container is. As a result, we only need to empty the full containers. As a result, Amsterdam residents can always dispose of their waste.

  • Frequency planning tools

    National Digital Infrastructure Inspectorate (RDI)

    The algorithm consists of a collection of macros that support frequency planners in planning for frequency bands, making the frequency request process more efficient. The macros automatically go through technical steps and perform calculations based on parameters from the application, among others, from which suggestions for the most suitable frequencies emerge.

  • Intelligent traffic control installation (iVRI) and/or -VRI-ready

    Municipality of Oirschot

    This algorithm has a low impact. Because the smart traffic lights are able to 'recognise' traffic, it becomes possible to prioritise certain traffic flows over others (in the Westfields area).
