Szczecin, Poland’s seventh-largest city and a major port of the Baltic Sea, was constantly faced with the pressure of the increasing road traffic that could not be solved with a simple traffic light system.SolutionUTI has answered the need of Szczecin city hall, designed and implemented a complex traffic management system that provides real-time information regarding the road infrastructures, traffic incidents, available detour routes in case some unpredictable situations occur, in order to reduce the waiting times and to increase the speed.The system calculates the traveling time among various points and delivers information pertaining to the available traveling routes and times to the traffic participants. The information gathered by the traffic analysis, assessment and prognosis will be accessed on a web portal or directly on the smartphones.
All the data collected by these subsystems are assessed and analyzed within a complex Traffic Control Center.New functionalities can be added to the system, as it is open and scalable.
In 2013, the traffic management system of Szczecin has been awarded the prize for the best implementation of a traffic management system in Poland by ITS Polska.
