Urban intersections are among the most complex elements of a road network. As traffic patterns shift throughout the day, the challenge lies in coordinating multiple signal groups and synchronizing the flow across different rings or sub-intersections. This complexity is particularly pronounced when inner lanes connect multiple rings within the same intersection. These inner lanes act as the hidden arteries of traffic flow—critical to the entire system's performance.
Traffic lights renewal, X-Line, AI Detection, Barrier-free expansion
Are your traffic light systems future-proof?
Today, the renewal of traffic light systems offers far more than mere modernisation. With AI-based detection data and intelligent control systems, traffic flow can be significantly improved, whilst at the same time opening up economic opportunities for the barrier-free expansion of existing junctions.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how the combination of modern video technology, dynamic vehicle data and the SWARCO X-LINE enables the effective, sustainable and cost-efficient renewal of traffic light systems.
Whether it is increasing traffic demands, limited budgets or new accessibility requirements: the renewal of existing traffic light systems presents local authorities and operators with complex decisions.
Strategic preparation for C-ITS projects and security as a key success factor
The success of C-ITS projects is determined long before the tender process begins.
In this webinar, you will learn which strategic, organisational and security-related fundamentals are crucial for the sustainable and successful implementation of C-ITS.
From stakeholder engagement and security architectures to specific use cases, we’ll show you what really matters.
C-ITS projects place high demands on strategy, organisation and technology. In this webinar, we’ll examine the key issues that determine success or failure
Breaking the Gridlock: Overcoming Roadblocks to Large-Scale deployment of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility. The technology exists, yet connected mobility isn't everywhere. Why?
Tunnels are essential for safe and efficient traffic flow. However, they can only fulfill this role if maintenance is properly managed. Commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat, SWARCO has been responsible since this summer for maintaining two key Dutch tunnels: the Koning Willem-Alexandertunnel in Maastricht and the Salland-Twentetunnel in Nijverdal. Two locations, hundreds of kilometers apart, but managed under a single framework: the KWASTT project.
As road networks are the backbone of cities, the role they play transforms from simply connecting A to B, towards systems that enable mobility services for all road users. Advanced traffic signal management (TSM) systems emerge as a key strategy for fostering not only more efficient operation of the road network, but also lowering emissions and pollutants, contributing to the transition towards more livable cities. In a joint study conducted by Politecnico di Torino, Chair of Transportation Engineering and SWARCO, we explored the environmental and operational performance of different traffic signal management systems in Tampere, Finland, focusing on a bustling six-intersection corridor.
Twenty-five years, in the world of technology and public transport, are not simply an anniversary. They are proof of resilience, evolution and, above all, mutual trust. The collaboration between SWARCO and TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) is one of those stories that are not born by chance and that, above all, do not last so long without solid foundations.
