About this service

OVERVIEW

The observation of traffic forms the basis for modern traffic management and traffic control. To derive targeted measures, accurate real-time information from sensors, detectors, traffic cameras, signalling devices and additional sources such as Bluetooth® and Floating Car Data (FCD) is required. Intelligent transport systems record and process all relevant traffic information in real time, enabling proactive traffic control, congestion reduction and improved mobility strategies.

Real-Time Traffic Observation

Traffic data from signal heads, sensors, cameras, controllers and detector stations is aggregated and normalised to provide a real-time overview of the traffic situation and enable immediate response.

Integrated Monitoring & Diagnostics

Field devices and external systems are connected to monitor technical messages, detect faults and ensure minimal downtime through integrated alarm management and diagnostic tools.

Traffic Control Centers

Modern traffic control centers monitor and control signals, intersections and roads, detect disruptions early and initiate effective measures to maintain traffic flow and safety.

Comprehensive traffic monitoring and intelligent control from data collection to central command

OUR USP's

Real-Time Data Intelligence

Intelligent transport systems collect and process traffic data in real time, enabling proactive control, congestion reduction and timely traffic warnings.

Centralized Control Centers

Traffic control centers powered by SWARCO collect, analyze and visualize all relevant traffic information at a central point.

Advanced Diagnostics & Logging

Integrated diagnostics, alarm management and comprehensive logging ensure system transparency, minimal downtime and reliable evaluation of all system events.

Intelligent traffic monitoring and control solutions for cities and communities

The challenge

Growing cities and communities face increasing mobility challenges. Space across air, rail, road and water is becoming scarce. Traffic flow becomes more difficult to manage, congestion increases, air quality deteriorates and logistics costs rise. These challenges require competent traffic planning and comprehensive traffic control strategies based on real-time data.

 

Our service

SWARCO offers a wide range of solutions, software and hardware for traffic control and monitoring. Traffic information from sensors, cameras, detectors and signalling devices is aggregated and normalized to provide real-time situational awareness.

Traffic operation monitoring connects numerous field devices and external systems, providing detailed device messages including timestamps, device identification, error codes and status information. Integrated alarm management generates warnings and notifications via multiple channels.

Traffic diagnostics detect technical faults in systems, communication infrastructure and field equipment, ensuring quick recovery and minimal downtime. Traffic data collection retrieves values such as traffic volume, speed, occupancy and vehicle classification for visualization, reporting and statistical analysis.

Video management enables real-time visualization with pan, tilt and zoom functionality, including storage and archiving. Comprehensive logging records all system events and changes with timestamps, allowing detailed diagnosis and report generation.

Modern traffic control centers detect disruptions as they develop and initiate measures to avoid congestion and unnecessary delays. They coordinate daily traffic, special events and emergency situations while supporting long-term mobility strategies. Advanced program and process automation further harmonizes traffic flow, reduces congestion, lowers fuel consumption, improves air quality and enhances road safety.
