EETS

What EETS does

EETS GmbH is a privately held Swiss engineering company founded in 2000 by two ETH Zurich electronic engineers, headquartered in Schindellegi, Switzerland. The company designs, manufactures, and maintains hardware and software systems for road traffic signaling and detection, serving national and cantonal road authorities, tunnel operators, and traffic management systems integrators in Switzerland.

Its core product portfolio is organized around two franchises: traffic signalling and traffic data acquisition. The signalling line is anchored by RAPTOR II, a modular 19-inch rack-based controller running a Linux-based industrial CPU with up to 14 signal or I/O card slots, complemented by the TLC-003 serial LED traffic light controller (TLS-2012 protocol, Power-Off Monitoring, CAN bus expansion) and the IOC-002 digital I/O module. The data acquisition line is anchored by VIPER II, an inductive-loop traffic data system supporting single and double-loop measurement per TLS and SWISS10 specifications, with direct connectivity to the Swiss national VM-CH traffic management system. EETS also offers custom product development, in-house repair, and maintenance contracts, including long-term support for legacy T10 and T11 traffic control systems originally supplied by the former von Ballmoos AG.

EETS earns revenue primarily through project-based, direct sales of hardware systems to enterprise public-sector buyers, supplemented by recurring maintenance contracts, repair services, and bespoke engineering work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are quoted per project. The company operates without external institutional investment, maintains a 1-10 employee headcount, and distributes solely through direct technical engagement rather than channel partners or marketing campaigns.

Revenue model

1. Traffic Control Hardware Systems: Sale of modular traffic signaling systems (RAPTOR II), traffic light controllers (TLC-003), and I/O modules (IOC-002). Revenue is primarily one-time hardware sales with optional software and configuration capabilities.
2. Maintenance and Support Services: Service contracts, maintenance, and support for own products and legacy traffic control systems (T10, T11 types). Includes drop-in replacements, porting, functional extensions, and on-site repairs.
3. Repair Services: In-house repair and modification services for own products and legacy traffic control systems in their electronic laboratory.
4. Custom Product Development: Modification of existing products (hardware/software) and development of new products for specific customer requirements in traffic control, regulation, and recording.

Core offering

EETS designs, manufactures, and sells modular traffic signaling and data acquisition hardware (RAPTOR II signaling system, TLC-003 LED traffic light controller, IOC-002 digital I/O module, and VIPER II induction-loop traffic data acquisition system) for road, tunnel, and motorway infrastructure operators. The company also provides custom product development, in-house repair, and long-term maintenance and support services, including support for legacy traffic control systems.

Product overview

EETS GmbH offers a modular portfolio of traffic management products organized around two core areas: Traffic Signalling and Traffic Data Acquisition. The signalling product line is anchored by the RAPTOR II rack-based modular traffic controller, complemented by the TLC-003 serial LED traffic light controller and the IOC-002 CAN-bus digital I/O expansion module. The data acquisition line is anchored by the VIPER II induction-loop-based traffic data system. All products are engineered for Swiss road infrastructure and comply with TLS 2012 and SWISS10 standards. Beyond hardware products, EETS offers custom product development and comprehensive after-sales services including maintenance, repair, and support contracts, including for legacy traffic control systems.

Products and services

• RAPTOR II Modular 19-inch rack-based traffic signalling system with an industrial Linux-powered CPU module and up to 14 slot positions for signal cards or I/O cards. Functions as a central unit, section controller, or gateway to manage traffic signals and variable message signs on tunnels, highways, and cantonal roads.
• Traffic Light Controller TLC-003 Signal controller module for LED traffic lights that integrates LED signals into a serial-based installation structure using the TLS 2012 protocol. Controls up to three 230 VAC LED traffic light inserts with active load monitoring, Power-Off Monitoring, and optional expansion via CAN bus and second serial interface.
• Digital I/O Module IOC-002 24V digital input/output module with CAN bus interface providing 8 inputs and 8 outputs per module. Up to 8 modules (64 I/O) can be addressed on the same CAN bus, enabling parallel interface extensions for emergency or redundant control paths.
• VIPER II Traffic data acquisition system using induction loops embedded in road lanes. Supports TLS and SWISS10 vehicle classification, individual vehicle data, and speed measurement on up to 12 double loops. Data is delivered via TCP/IP and can be transmitted directly to the Swiss VM-CH traffic management system via TLSoIP.
• Product Development Services Custom hardware and software development services for traffic control applications, including modification of existing products (voltage adjustment, protocol changes, interface additions, autonomous functions) and development of new products such as traffic signal electronics, LED lane signal electronics, and interface implementations.
• Maintenance and Support Services Comprehensive maintenance, service, and support for EETS products, including in-house repair, service contracts for larger systems, and special maintenance contracts for older traffic control systems (types T10 and T11), covering drop-in replacements, porting of legacy applications, functional extensions, and on-site repairs.
• Service and Repair Center In-house electronic laboratory for repairs and modifications of EETS products and older traffic control systems (types T10 and T11 formerly from Dr. von Ballmoos AG), including drop-in replacements and full reproduction of electronic components no longer available.

Broad incumbents

• Yunex Traffic: Former Siemens ITS business, now a standalone major provider of urban and interurban traffic management hardware and software. Overlaps with EETS in signal controllers and detection but serves a much broader geographic and product scope.
• Q-Free: Norwegian-headquartered provider of ITS solutions for traffic management and tolling. Overlaps with EETS in road-side hardware but offers a broader portfolio including ATMS software and cloud services.
• Kapsch TrafficCom: Austrian/European provider of intelligent transportation systems including tolling, traffic management, and connected vehicle solutions. Comparable in DACH ITS market participation but operates at much larger scale with broader offerings.
• Siemens Mobility: Global incumbent offering a comprehensive portfolio including traffic controllers (Sitraffic), tunnel management, and connected vehicle infrastructure. Competes with EETS for major Swiss and European tenders but at a vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Swarco: Austrian-headquartered global leader in traffic management and signaling hardware including signal controllers, LED traffic lights, and detection systems. Directly comparable as a European ITS hardware specialist competing for the same road-authority tenders as EETS.
• INIT (Innovation in Traffic Systems): German provider of traffic management and telematics systems including signal controllers and public transport ITS. Comparable as a DACH-based ITS hardware+software specialist targeting road authorities and integrators.
• Stührenberg: German manufacturer of traffic signal controllers and traffic data acquisition systems. Closely comparable niche specialist offering modular controllers and induction-loop-based detection used by European road authorities.

Regional players

• SICE: Spanish ITS integrator and equipment provider active in tunnel and motorway traffic management across Europe and Latin America. Comparable in tunnel/motorway ITS deployment but operates as an integrator alongside proprietary hardware.
• Aldridge Traffic Controllers (ATC): Australian manufacturer of traffic signal controllers and SCATS-compatible products. Comparable as a specialist controller maker but serves primarily the Australian/NZ market, offering a useful analog for EETS' Swiss specialization model.

Others

• Heusch/Boedecker (Laurel), now part of WSP: German traffic engineering consultancy and software provider for ITS planning and simulation. Adjacent comparable serving overlapping road-authority and integrator customers in the DACH market.
