Craiova is the main commercial city west of Bucharest and experienced a strong economic growth over the past years which led to traffic congestion.

Solution

To meets the mobility and comfort need of its inhabitants, the decision was made to implement a complex traffic management system, our second most important traffic management project in Romania, following the one in Bucharest.

Components

  • Traffic lights
  • Optic fiber communications network
  • Variable message signs
  • Speed violation

The solution was implemented in collaboration with SCAE Italy (provider of controllers and traffic lights equipment), Alled Telesys International and Motorola (communications equipment providers), IBM (IT equipment provider), Pelco and Teleste (CCTV equipment provider).
