This will make it possible for motorists to easily avoid traffic queues or roadworks.

The Dijk Data Service Center (DDSC) will ensure that dyke managers have easier access to data that represent the condition of a number of Dutch dykes. Building the DDSC is an important element of the IJkdijk development program 2012-2014.

With this Dyke Monitoring and Conditioning system (DMC), the dyke can soon be monitored from the inside and the alarm can be raised quicker when the dyke weakens. Furthermore, the sensors provide data that can be used to design stronger dykes and to improve their management.

The Hanze Institute of Technology (HIT) in Assen has welcomed a record number of new first-year students for academic year 2012-2013. A total of 41 students will be starting the sensor technology programme.

A preliminary analysis of the results has shown that the sensor systems predict the dike breaches well in advance.

Hundreds of cars will be equipped with a unit which, guided by sensors positioned throughout Drenthe's capital, will give motorists the fastest route via their navigation system.

All the measuring data on Dutch dikes will be stored here, and made available to the Public Works Department and the water boards. As a result, they will be better able to assess where and when any work needs be done.

The project got worldwide exposure. The time has now come for the next stage of the IJkdijk development programme. In August and September experiments will be performed to establish whether the various sensor systems can predict the failure of a dike and provide vital support for dike maintenance and management.

It has signed a contract for this with Staatsbosbeheer (the National Forest Service in the Netherlands). Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:00:00 +0200 RTV Drenthe http://www.nvnom.com/articles/63334/-New-Northern-Netherlands-export-product--IJkdijk-to-China-- Groningen has gained a new export product, and an extremely high quality technological one at that. The product is the 'IJkdijk', developed with the aid of parties including the NOM. It is a dike fitted with sensors. China has expressed an interest and is buying sensors for a long dike along the Yellow River. The first phase will be a trial.

NOM http://www.nvnom.com/articles/54742/Dacom-is-the-most-innovative-SME-of-the-Netherlands The Drenthe company Dacom has been voted the most innovative company of Dutch Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The company holds the number one spot of the annual SME Innovation Top 100. They owe their election to their award-winning TerraSen system that provides farmers with information about optimum fertilization and watering of crops by means of sensors in the field.

The Northern IJkakker project is working on a technology in which farmers can receive information from sensors on their computer or smart phone, so that they know for example, precisely when a product can be harvested or can see whether the fertiliser percentage in the soil is correct. The workshops at the conference are bound to attract great attention.
