SWARCO has installed a temporary hard shoulder clearance, or live-lane running system, on the A8 motorway in south-west Germany for the Die Autobahn highways agency. The A8 motorway is an important central east-west link in the European transport network. The section between Karlsruhe motorway interchange and Karlsbad junction features a winding route and gradients of around 7.5% and is highly congested with about 110,000 vehicles per day. Traffic flow is often blocked in this section due to slow-moving trucks and there are frequent overtaking manoeuvres and lane changes taking place. |
