Traffic on roads of the future
There are three challenges for scientists, engineers and traffic managers who
are working on solving the problems of individual traffic:
- Maintaining the flow of traffic on strategic roads by informing travelers early
on and by means of regulating interventions.
- Keeping traffic flowing in the cities by means of fast reactions to incidents
and intelligent guidance technology for all road users (including public
transport).
- Integrating parked vehicles into normal flowing traffic with the least
possible disturbances.
Ideally, the three sub-areas should merge into one integrated control concept
that monitors and harmonizes regional and urban traffic flows.
The name SITRAFFIC stands for integrated traffic solutions from Siemens and for
its whole range of intelligent traffic solutions. The implementation of
integrated traffic solutions has now started in conurbations all over the world.
The future prospects are therefore excellent in an attractive growth market,
which offers significant benefits for people, industry and the environment.
SITRAFFIC – the system concept for a mobile society.
