About this video

INFO

What do roads really need to function safely and efficiently? The answer is: clear, timely, and visible information.

In this episode, Anja, together with our expert Jasmin Peralta, takes you behind the scenes of Variable Message Signs (VMS) — the smart roadside guides that:
- Alert us about accidents, traffic jams, and upcoming roadworks
- Remind us of speed limits or to “Put your phone down”
- Quietly shape safer, smarter journeys for millions of drivers every day

These aren’t just signs — they are a critical part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), supporting safer mobility, reducing congestion, and paving the way for greener cities.

Discover how VMS work, why they matter, and how they’re designed for the future of transport.

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.

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.
