Smart Mobility

Co-operative mobility services allow intersection traffic control systems to adapt their timing based on an interaction with vehicles. The advantage is twofold: the speed of vehicles is optimized reducing unnecessary acceleration and deceleration and the traffic light phase is optimized increasing the overall road network throughput. The idea that smart cities should take up is the introduction of such cooperative adaptive traffic control systems based on ITS-G5 V2I communication.

With 150 “urban” sensors over the urban grid of Zaragoza, 90% of all urban routes are monitored and 30% of all traffic is audited daily. The information on travel times goes directly to the Traffic Management Centre (TMC) of Zaragoza City Council and it is displayed on a web interface specially intended for management purposes.

Citysolver is Bitcarrier real-time intelligent traffic management and information solution for urban environments specifically designed to satisfy the needs for traffic optimization in local authorities. Citysolver provides its clients with the following data in real time: Travel times between two points in the city, Vehicles’ average speed, Traffic intensity, Traffic density estimations, Alarms for detection of incidents and congestion, Prediction of travel times, Information to design origin-destination matrixes.

Sitraffic Guide optimizes the search for parking spaces and thus relieves the pressure on city streets. In short: Dynamic message signs provide information to the driver on the current occupancy levels of individual parking areas and guide him/her along the shortest route to his/her final parking destination.

It is an integrated traffic management services tailored to the user's needs. The point is that the user is only required  subscribe for control and management functions which you can run as an application on simple devices as well because the special hardware required calculation processes are taking place on the service provider's infrastructure. The composition of the service can be expanded to meet changing needs and its function doesn't need to maintain and develop serious cost-intensive physical infrastructure.

IBM Intelligent Transportation provides: One integrated transportation system to increase situational awareness of current traffic and transit conditions and provide advanced predictive analytics. The Intelligent Operations for Transportation component to improve traffic operations and citizen driving experience, ridership and asset performance. The Intelligent Transit Analytics component to improve public transit operations and commuter experience. Collaborative tools for more efficient traffic management, traffic prediction, transportation operations and input of historical traffic data.

The solution is a comprehensive map-based system built on sharing and collaboration to achive transport efficiency, safety and  sustainability. It helps to the authorities and operators to assist the different actors work together with pre-approved, coordinated, data-driven responses. The single user interface combines all of the traffic and transport systems which significantly improves the operators' recognition ability and the  opportunities of intervention and actuation. It also helps to reduce congestion and it promotes the use of public transport.

The Amsterdam region is one of the busiest regions of the Netherlands. Three road managers are active; the municipality of Amsterdam, the province of North Holland and the national government. They all try to optimize the traffic flow within their management area, but the measures they take sometimes conflict with each other. To improve traffic flow cooperation between all parties was necessary. Joint and automatic management: The city of Amsterdam now uses TrafficLink’s SCM system that is connected to the traffic system of the national government.
