Enhancing traffic safety

​​​​​​​The previous European C ITS projects (SCOOP, C Roads, InterCor, InDiD…) enabled the deployment of the first on board units (OBUs) in the operational vehicles of road network managers. The primary objective is to signal the presence and activities of road workers in order to protect them and improve road safety.

The French Ministry of Transport now plans to roll out this equipment across most of its operational and maintenance vehicles, as well as potentially other vehicles likely to stop on the road network.

The contract awarded to the SWARCO CONNECT / INEO INFRACOM consortium, as part of the European SCALE project, includes the supply, commissioning, and maintenance of the on board units in the vehicles. In line with the French Ministry’s ambition to enhance safety for road users and road workers, this new contract foresees the deployment of 2,000 OBUs across the various types of intervention and maintenance vehicles of the 11 Interdepartmental Directorates.

SWARCO Technology Sets a New Standard for Traffic Flow on Intersections in Køge

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.

Topics

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.
