Smart Urban Traffic Zones - step 3

Purpose and goal

With increased urbanization and growing cities, competition for the city´s space increases, which creates creates more complex traffic systems where vehicles and the city´s residents need to interact with each other. Smart urban traffic zones aim to create smart solutions in the city that contribute to increased flexibility in how urban space is used, more efficient transportation and increased traffic safety. The goal is to fill the gaps identified in earlier stages of the project and dig deeper into the parts that create the prerequisites for the implementation of smart zones.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to lead to cities gaining an increased ability to use smart digital solutions in traffic and urban planning. The project should also lead to more transport buyers and transport companies choosing to use enabling technology such as geofencing/speed control systems to dynamically adapt speed and/or driving behavior in the city which means increased traffic safety & security, less noise & air pollution and increased traffic- and transport efficiency.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is carried out in 7 different work packages. WP1 is responsible for coordination. WP6 includes 3 pilots that build on the tests carried out under previous project: P1 Effective loading areas, P2 Safe & secure shared urban spaces, P3 Effective and safe construction transport in urban environments. WP4 supports system integration and WP5 performs analyzes through simulations. WP2 focuses on planning, policy and regulations for smart zones and WP3 on understanding what data is needed and future quality requirements. WP7 produces material for dissemination of results.
