What does the concept address?
The aim of the concept is to respond to the city’s traffic issues, where selected streets are long exposed to heavy traffic and recurring congestion.
The current infrastructure cannot adequately respond to dynamic changes in traffic.
There is a lack of advanced detectors, real-time traffic data, and the possibility of adaptive intersection control.
The concept introduces an innovative solution based on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and the implementation of 5G connectivity.
It serves as a pilot initiative to test how modern technologies can be integrated into the daily functioning of the city. If successful, the solution may be extended to other locations and serve as a foundation for the future development of intelligent mobility.
Which technologies will be tested?
During implementation, the following components are expected to be deployed:
Proactive control of selected city intersections – the solution will include algorithms for automatic intersection control based on current traffic data, enabling dynamic signal plan adjustments.
The system will not rely solely on traffic levels but will use real-time vehicle detection in the area and on specific junctions.
The solution will also include the ability to prioritize public transport vehicles and potentially emergency vehicles.
C-ITS RSU units – devices installed at intersections that communicate with vehicles and provide them with real-time traffic information.
OBU units in vehicles – these will enable testing of communication between infrastructure and specific vehicles.
Traffic video detectors – new cameras, in cooperation with an analytical module, will analyze video using deep learning and AI support.
They will monitor traffic, recognize vehicle types, and detect the presence of pedestrians and cyclists.
Advanced video analytics module – the solution will monitor all categories of road users. In cooperation with RSU units, the system will send information about the presence of vulnerable road users directly to C-ITS-equipped vehicles.
Additional functions will include vehicle classification, traffic data provision, and generating crossing alerts for pedestrians.
Data will be visualized through a web interface.
Mobile application – will serve to visualize traffic information, such as traffic light signal plans or alerts about extraordinary events.
All components will be interconnected via a 5G network, which ensures fast and reliable transmission of large volumes of data with minimal latency.
What are the expected benefits of the solution?
The concept aims to improve traffic and quality of life in one of the most exposed parts of the city.
It is expected that the deployment of adaptive traffic control will speed up intersection throughput and reduce congestion.
New cameras and analytical tools will provide more accurate traffic data to help the city respond better to emergencies and plan future transport steps.
Drivers should benefit from mobile applications and in-vehicle units that offer real-time traffic updates.
Public transport and emergency services are also expected to benefit from smoother and faster travel.
The overall goal is calmer traffic, fewer emissions, and a more pleasant urban environment for residents.
