Urban traffic regulation
Improving traffic in the city
Local authorities focus on managing traffic flows within their jurisdiction in order to improve safety, limit pollution, speed or slow vehicle traffic and manage the influx of people during the summer holiday season and sports and cultural events.
Achievable goals:
- Improving traffic flow and travel times
- Managing the different urban transport modes
- Ensuring user safety
- Combating pollution
- Managing events: tourist influx, bad weather, public events
A single point of contact
To help local authorities implement their traffic plans, Citéos builds on the expertise of its partners within Vinci Energies to put together comprehensive offerings comprising everything from traffic lights at intersections to complex traffic control systems:
- Dynamic signalling systems: traffic lights, audio signalling for the blind, etc.
- PLCs for intersection traffic lights
- Measurement and detection systems: loops, radar, video, etc.
- Communication networks to interconnect and coordinate the various systems
- Traffic control centre, if the area to be controlled and the objectives to be achieved warrant
- CCTV cameras to monitor the efficiency of traffic control, perform remote alarm verification and more rapidly initiate a response when there is a problem
- Variable message boards to disseminate urban traffic information in real time.
