BUCHAREST, Romania – Adaptive traffic management system
| Country | City | Number of inhabitants | Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Romania | Bucharest | 1,900,000 | 228/km2 |
Bucharest is an ever growing city and the significant rise of cars has led to daily congestions, as well as delays of the public transportation vehicles.
Solution
To answer these challenges, UTI has introduced, for the first time in Romania, an intelligent urban traffic management and control system whose purpose is to ease traffic, reduce travel times, traffic jams, traffic events, and fuel consumption.
Components
- Adaptive subsystem for urban traffic control in 176 intersections of the 434 intersections in Bucharest
- Public transportation management
- Emergency intervention vehicle management
- Video surveillance
- Fiber optic communication network
These subsystems are complemented by the Control Center where all information provided by the subsystems is gathered and managed in order to get appropriate traffic-related data and find the best ways to prioritize it.
Technologically, the main advantage provided by the traffic management system consists of the adaptive operation mode: adjusting the green-light times in intersections to the real traffic values. Traffic controllers are installed in every intersection to provide the necessary information. There is permanent communication with the public transportation vehicles so that the green-light times will be adjusted to allow the public transport vehicles reach their destination according to the schedule.
All the intersections are connected by fiber optic among them and with the Control Center.
Benefits
- Traffic improvement by 15%-18%
- Public transport services improvement by observing the departure and arrival schedule
- Reduced travel times
- Instant warning of the faulty equipment in intersections and the immediate intervention to fix them
- Emergency vehicles (Police, Ambulance, Firefighters) intervention time improvement
- Traffic incident reduction
- Pollution reduction
The solution was implemented in collaboration with SWARCO Austria (provider of controllers and traffic lights equipment), Alled Telesys International and Motorola (communications equipment providers), IBM (IT equipment provider), Pelco and Teleste (CCTV equipment providers) and MIZAR (provider of the UTOPIA traffic control software).
