Infrastructure
Effective operation of public transport facilities
From streetlights to roads, bridges and tunnels to waterways – we all rely on a functioning infrastructure every day. Modern sensor technology keeps everything running, saving energy and preventing accidents or interruptions in operation. Infrastructures are critical to our economy and our everyday lives – so we should be equally critical when selecting the sensors to be used. Modern radar technology guarantees precision and functional reliability.
Application examples
The requirements:
- Person detection
- Position determination
- Data privacy
Not every corner needs to be completely lit up by streetlights all night long. Areas with fewer pedestrians in particular are lit for several hours per night, despite not needing to be at all. This results in unnecessary energy consumption and light pollution that disturbs and endangers insects.
The applications:
Please choose your application
Our solution:
Symeo radar sensors control the streetlighting, depending on whether a person is approaching or moving away from the light pole. The lighting is therefore switched on exactly where it is needed. No cameras need to be used in the process. This means the person detection does not cause privacy concerns and is therefore accepted immediately.
Your benefits:
- Targeted lighting
- Energy is saved
- No unnecessary light pollution
- No personal data is collected
Our product recommendation
The requirements:
- Measurement of vehicles in the flow of traffic
- Reliable detection of unsuitable vehicles
Will the vehicle fit through the tunnel? This issue must be resolved promptly, otherwise there is a risk of serious accidents and long interruptions to operations. However, automatic detection must not impede the flow of traffic. It must function with absolute reliability even in fog and driving snow or very heavy traffic.
The applications:
Please choose your application
Our solution:
Symeo radar sensors measure even fast passing vehicles reliably and precisely, so that drivers are warned in time if their vehicle will not fit through a tunnel or under bridge.
Your benefits:
- Accident prevention
- Avoid interruptions to operations
- Precise, dynamic measuring

The requirements:
- Deformation measurement
- Detection of even the smallest deflections
The structural integrity of road and railroad bridges must be continuously monitored. Performing a simple visual inspection is not sufficient for this. It needs extremely accurate data on how the structure behaves under load. This requires extremely accurate measurement technology that provides continuous and reliable data even under difficult environmental conditions.
The applications:
Please choose your application
Our solution:
Symeo radar sensors provide an accurate assessment of the condition of a bridge by analyzing its deflection under load. Even the smallest deformations are detected with pin-point precision. This allows damage to be detected before it becomes a safety issue.
Your benefits:
- Continuous testing of structural integrity
- Precise analysis of load behavior
- Prompt damage detection

The requirements:
- Vehicle detection
- Determination of traffic density
Traffic management systems can only be controlled with precision if the traffic density is measured accurately. In the digital age, traffic lights should be switched according to demand.
The applications:
Please choose your application
Our solution:
Symeo radar sensors detect every vehicle and provide accurate traffic data in any weather. This also allows traffic lights to be switched to green when vehicles are approaching, cross traffic permitting.
Vehicle detection can also be used, for example, to control locks.
Your benefits:
- Accurate recording of traffic volume
- Improved traffic flow
- Energy is saved

The requirements:
- Level measurement under bridges
Continuous monitoring of the river level is critical in responding to flood situations quickly and correctly. Accurate measurement at short intervals is especially important during extreme weather events, as levels can rise very quickly. With radar technology, you’re on the safe side even in the pouring rain.
The applications:
Please choose your application
Our solution:
Symeo radar sensors measure the water level under bridges and report the current values to the situation center. In this way, hazardous situations can be detected at an early stage and at-risk residents can be warned.
Your benefits:
- Continuous level monitoring
- Prompt detection of hazardous situations
- Shorter warning time
