Cities’ cramped and busy street networks contain a lot of traffic placing an unnecessary burden on the environment. The very same street networks of urban areas also contain many sites that pose a challenge to transport safety.
Intelligent traffic solutions (ITS) help make future cities safer and more environmentally friendly. Modern dynamic signs respond to the traffic situation and unexpected situations in an urban area. They provide warnings when the situation calls for it and guide drivers to their destination through the most direct route, i.e. in a manner that is as eco-friendly as possible.
Research has shown that systems which adapt to the situation also improve people’s attitude towards restrictions and warnings – when these change according to need, people also tend to commit to them more strongly.
