A future-proof and scalable data platform for speed enforcement

 

Yunex Traffic:

Everyone in the Netherlands is familiar with them: speed enforcement zones. For road users, they appear as cameras along the highway. Behind the scenes, however, lies a highly complex IT chain. For Yunex Traffic, provider of smart solutions for mobility, water, and infrastructure, the renewal of the speed enforcement system required a modern, scalable, and reliable data platform. Conclusion Xforce supported the realisation of this platform, where data from speed enforcement systems is securely processed, validated, and automatically forwarded to parties such as the CJIB.

 

The challenge: a complex platform under significant time pressure

 

Yunex Traffic faced a clear yet demanding challenge. Commissioned by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service, existing speed enforcement zones across the Netherlands needed to be replaced. All suppliers within the framework agreement were given just 18 months to design, build, test, and deliver a fully accepted system. Only those who met the deadline would be eligible to roll out the solution, unlocking substantial follow-up work.

 

Initially, Yunex Traffic explored whether the platform could be developed in-house. It quickly became clear that the complexity, the specialised expertise required, and the limited timeframe made this difficult. “We realised this would involve a great deal of pioneering, without enough room to maintain the right level of focus,” says Dick Hendriks, Project Lead at Yunex Traffic. “By bringing in Conclusion Xforce, we added experienced professionals who could help us accelerate.”

 

The challenge was not limited to technology alone, it also lay in the chain itself: data from cameras, validation and calculations, integrations with existing systems, and strict requirements around reliability, availability, and scalability.

The approach: co-creation from design onwards

 

From day one, the project was set up as a co-creation effort. Conclusion Xforce was closely involved in defining the right solution direction, aligning expectations, and shaping the architecture. “We jointly explored what truly fits this use case, within Yunex Traffic’s constraints,” says Mark Dudock, Account Manager Projects & Services at Conclusion Xforce. “Those collaborative design sessions were the real starting point of the project.”

 

These sessions brought together all key stakeholders: Yunex Traffic, Conclusion Xforce, and Red Hat. The high-level architecture was defined collectively, after which smaller teams focused on the implementation details. Expertise was flexibly deployed as needed, ranging from Red Hat OpenShift and platform engineering to Kafka specialisation.

“The strength of this approach is that you engage the right expertise at the right time,” says Sven Kooiman, DevOps Engineer at Conclusion Xforce. “You move from high-level design to detailed implementation without losing the overall perspective.”

"We flexibly engaged the expertise required at each stage."

Th solution: a scalable Red Hat Openshift data plaform

The result of this co-creation is a scalable data platform, built on Red Hat OpenShift, on which Yunex Traffic’s self-developed services run. The architecture was carefully aligned with the existing hardware and infrastructure, leading, among other decisions, to positioning Kafka outside the OpenShift cluster.

 

Conclusion Xforce supported with:

  • Platform design and architectural decisions
  • Implementation of OpenShift
  • Integrations with existing monitoring and logging solutions
  • Specialist support, including Kafka expertise
  • Knowledge transfer and training for the operations team

 

The implementation was largely carried out on-site, enabling Yunex Traffic teams to actively participate and learn along the way.  “The idea was to build together while learning at the same time,” says Dick. “In practice, that worked very well.”

 

 

Embedding knowledge: show, do together, do independently

 

A key principle throughout the project was knowledge sharing. Conclusion Xforce deliberately applied the approach of “show, do together, do independently.” After the implementation phase, the focus shifted to knowledge transfer and training.

 

“We used our standard training modules, supplemented with a dedicated session tailored specifically to the Yunex Traffic platform,” Sven explains. “Administrators could also bring in topics they wanted to explore in more depth.” This approach ensured that the platform was not only delivered from a technical perspective, but also fully embedded within the organisation.

The result: operational, scalable and ready for the chain

The platform is now fully operational and currently in the testing and acceptance phase. In early January 2026, the system will go live, and violations will be transmitted to the relevant chain partners. “It’s already running. Now the system is being assessed and fine-tuned,” says Dick. “That gives us confidence as we approach go-live.”

 

“New speed enforcement zones can be added without changing the foundation.”

 

More importantly, the platform is built to scale. New speed enforcement zones can be added without modifying the underlying foundation, a deliberate design choice from the outset. “Scalability was a key consideration during the design phase,” Sven explains. “This ensures that new routes can be connected with relative ease going forward.”

 

A collaboration that goes beyond technology

 

What truly defines this project is the collaboration. A compact core team, short lines of communication, and strong mutual trust between Yunex Traffic and Conclusion Xforce. “The engineers at Yunex Traffic have a tremendous amount of knowledge,” says Sven. “That leads to very focused and high-quality questions. It makes the collaboration both effective and enjoyable.”

 

Even after delivery, communication remains close. “If we run into challenges, we turn to Conclusion Xforce,” Dick concludes. “There is always someone ready to think along with us and provide support quickly.”

 

 Impact you can see and feel

 

For Sven, the strength of this project also lies in the tangible nature of the solution. “Requirements such as network segmentation, security zones, and encryption are often treated purely as technical checkboxes,” he explains. “Because we were involved in the complete solution, we were able to translate those requirements into the most relevant and effective measures, aligned with the nature and impact of the system.” In doing so, this project contributes to an IT chain that affects millions of road users every day, reliable, scalable, and future-proof.
