An overview of the MTC year 2025

Road safety will be more important than ever in 2025 – in public transport, at testing facilities, and in safety-critical areas. Move & Traffic Controls GmbH (MTC) combines three key elements: innovative sensor technology, strong partnerships , and a corporate culture with a strong sense of purpose. The result is solutions that protect people in their everyday lives while simultaneously making processes more efficient.

1. Road safety 2025: Sensors for doors and underbodies

The core of MTC lies in the development of sensors for two safety-critical zones: door areas and vehicle underbodies.

• The Trafficonseries – including TraffiContact, TrafficonTrafficonTrafficon TrafficonTrafficonTrafficonTrafficon TrafficonTrafficonTrafficonTrafficon TrafficonTrafficonTrafficonTrafficon TrafficonTrafficonGrid and TrafficonOneLine – reliably monitors the door area in public transport. The sensors detect even the smallest objects, support barrier-free, contactless boarding and alighting, and are designed for high passenger volumes and harsh environmental conditions.
• In parallel, Auto²Scan fast, high-resolution underbody inspection in seconds – ideal for temporary security checks, access areas and critical infrastructure.
• Auto²Scan Color expands this concept with color, detailed imaging. This allows for even more precise assessment of damage, tampering, or safety-relevant anomalies – for example, at testing centers, workshops, or logistics and security authorities.

Together, these systems contribute to a holistic approach to road safety: from the door to the underbody, from passenger safety to technical documentation.

2. Research & Higher Education: Insights into optical measurement technology and joint projects

2. Research & Higher Education: Insights into optical measurement technology and joint projects

MTC is further expanding its technological contacts with the scientific community. In June 2025, the company was represented at the tenth anniversary celebration of the Fraunhofer Application Center for Optical Metrology and Surface Technologies (AZOM) at WHZ.

The event focused on:

• An overview of ongoing research and development projects
• Various application areas of optical measurement technology
• Current focus areas and technologies of the institute

Afterwards, a guided tour of the institute offered the opportunity to:

• for personal professional exchange,
• to view the current status of the joint MTC–WHZ project – one of several cooperation projects.

Result of the visit:
The direct dialogue between university and industry once again demonstrated its added value: It promotes knowledge transfer, strengthens the mutual understanding between research and practice, and thus forms the basis for future-oriented sensor solutions.

3. People, Culture and Leadership: Why Values ​​Drive Technology

Technology never emerges in a vacuum. The contributions on corporate culture and management demonstrate that at MTC, values, teamwork, and leadership are consciously understood as success factors.

Among other things, the following are central to MTC's corporate culture:

• Responsibility for safety and quality in every project,
• Team spirit – from the development office to production,
• Appreciation in everyday life, e.g. through consciously designed shared moments,
• Freedom for ideas, so that innovations can emerge.

Managing Director Volker Trapp consistently embodies this attitude: For him, traffic technology is successful when it protects people, simplifies processes and creates trust – among transport companies, industry partners and end customers.

The combination of clear leadership and lived culture forms the foundation on which sensor solutions such as Trafficon, Auto²ScanAuto²ScanAuto²Scan Auto²ScanAuto²ScanAuto²ScanAuto²Scan Auto²ScanAuto²Scan Color are developed.

4. Visibility and Dialogue: Door Security & Innovation in the Network

the topics of door security, research and partnership not only on its own website, but also in its network – for example on LinkedIn.

Among other things, insights are shared there into:

• joint activities for greater door security in public transport,
• Cooperations with universities and research partners,
• Experience from project practice with transport companies and industry.

This makes the exchange with customers, partners and interested parties another building block for making security issues transparent and developing them further together.

5. Annual Report 2025: Supplier Quality Training at MAN

A particular highlight at the end of 2025 was MTC's participation in MAN's Supplier Quality Training Day in Ankara.

As an important supplier for MAN, MTC took the opportunity to:

• To understand the requirements and expectations for quality and process reliability even more precisely,
• to exchange ideas on topics such as testing processes, standards and best practices,
• to further strengthen its own role as a reliable partner in the field of sensor technology for door room monitoring and underbody inspection.

This training underlines how closely product quality, lived partnership and road safety are linked – and how seriously MTC takes the topic of quality management.

Conclusion: Holistic road safety with a system

The content from 2025 presents a consistent picture:

• Innovative sensor technology for doors and subfloors increases safety in daily operation.
• Research partnerships, such as with WHZ, are driving the development of new solutions.
• Corporate culture and leadership ensure that safety and quality are not only demanded, but lived.
• Partnerships like the one with MAN clearly demonstrate that MTC understands the requirements of industry and actively shapes them.

This is how MTC's ambition becomes tangible: safety and efficiency in traffic engineering – redefined.
