Traficon wins 'Olympic Games 2004' contract.
	The Flemish Ministry hands out the prestigious award 'Leeuw van de export 2003 ' to Traficon as best performer.
	Traficon wins contract to equip the longest European tunnel dealing with heavy traffic.

2003:

Launching TrafiCam®.

 2002:

Traficon becomes a truly global company, with subsidiaries in many countries. As a result of continued growth in demand for Traficon products, new offices were opened in the U.S.A. ( Traficon USA ) and Asia ( Traficon Asia ). At the beginning of 2003, a subsidiary in French was also a fact ( Traficon France ).

2001:

Because of a continually growing Traficon team , office space gradually becomes a scarce resource at the Traficon head office (Bissegemsestraat 45, Heule). After several months of searching, a new suitable location is found only a few kilometers further down the road (Meensesteenweg 449/2, Bissegem) in a historical but totally renewed barn.

2000:

New Traficon VIP Range : VIP/I, VIP/D, VIP/P. These new boards include brand-new hardware with faster processors and more memory on board. A faster and more transparent protocol ensures higher communication & transmission speeds. This new VIP range focuses on function and functionality with a more consistent grouping of functions within an application domain. •  VIP/P - Presence Monitor (VIP3 for U.S. market) •  VIP/I - Incident Monitor •  VIP/D - Data Monitor Faithful to the basic approach of the modular concept, the central element is and remains the VIP detector board. Combining boards into a system remains the best way to meet individual customer requirements in a cost-effective way. The customer obtains a solution without being overburdened by unwanted features. Ease of use also remains primordial. Our mantra still is 'Easy to use, easy to verify, easy to install, easy to modify.'

1994:

	At the East Coast of the U.S. , our partner Control Technologies starts promoting Traficon products.
	Together with our West Coast distributor ( Kar-Gor ), serious efforts are made to introduce the VIP detectors in the U.S. intersection market.
	Kar-Gor (Gordon Dale) develops the first interface unit that permits VIP3 to be plugged into a 170 controller.

1993:

The VIP (Video Image Processing) board comes into the world. This modular single processor board (based on euro format) has to perform the basic tasks for handling the video, digitizing the video, analyzing the image and extracting the most important traffic data. The basic idea of the VIP is to keep video detection for traffic as simple as possible. Therefore it is designed to perform only the real needed tasks in stand alone form. It can be programmed using only a simple keyboard and monitor.

1992:

Foundation of Traficon n.v. by Mr. Jo Versavel. His mission is clear: to become the market leader in the field of video detection for traffic applications.

1987:

Extra features are added to CCATS such as image compression, Ethernet and build-in modem. CCATS is promoted in Europe and has some success as a novelty , but it is still too bulky and too expensive to make a real breakthrough.

1983:

Because of the fast growing capacity of new processors and memory, not very later a new generation on one single very large mother board is launched: the CCATS (Camera Controlled Automatic Traffic Sensor). These CCATS boards are the first units to be installed in the field for real traffic applications.

1982:

Traficon CEO Mr. Versavel (at that time managing director at Devlonics) is asked by the Belgian Ministry of Traffic to continue developments and to industrialize the prototype. In 1983, the first industrial product for traffic video detection, using different processor boards is born.

1979:

Research starts by ESAT lab of the University of Louvain to investigate potential applications of a CCD based camera for measuring traffic data. ESAT succeeds to develop a first prototype.
